These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.

I love these photos! I've spent the last year working in rural communities in Florida and from the looks of these photographs, they really haven't changed much.
If I understand correctly, these photos were taken around the Depression era? There is such an eerie immediacy to old images that are in color, these photos are absolutely beautiful.
