Untitled photo, possibly related to: Tobacco on Zollie Lyon's place nearly ready for priming. Wake County, North Carolina

#ZollieLyons #WakeCounty #NorthCarolina

The image depicts a field with tall, green plants that appear to be tobacco plants. These plants are growing in rows and have large leaves that stand out prominently against the sky. There's no visible text or distinctive markings on the plants, but they look healthy and ready for harvesting. The background is relatively clear with a hint of blue sky, suggesting an outdoor setting during the daytime.

    Hightstown, New Jersey. Type house. 2 family. Incomplete. Ready for occupancy July, 1936

    #Hightstown #NewJersey #photography #DorotheaLange

    This is a black and white photograph depicting an older residential structure. The house features an L-shaped layout with multiple sections, possibly indicative of a two-family home. It's topped by flat roofs and has an unfinished appearance with visible exterior walls. There are trees in the foreground and what seems to be a clear sky in the background. The photograph includes text, which indicates that this house was completed in July 1936, suggesting that it may have been taken around that time or as part of historical documentation.

    Dust storm. It was conditions of this sort which forced many farmers to abandon the area. Spring 1935. New Mexico

    #NewMexico #theDustBowl

    https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759935/

    The image depicts a scene of a dust storm in New Mexico during the spring of 1935. A solitary figure stands near the center of the frame, appearing as if they are being swallowed by the storm. The person is dwarfed by the cloud of dust that envelopes them, their form nearly obscured from view due to the intensity of the storm. In the background, a dilapidated house can be seen, hinting at the hardships faced by those living in such harsh conditions. The sky above is dark and heavy with clouds, suggesting an impending or ongoing severe weather event. The ground appears to be strewn with debris, indicating that the storm is not just a dust cloud but also brings destruction in its wake. There are no visible trees or greenery, further emphasizing the desolate nature of the scene. The image captures a moment of intense weather, likely part of the Dust Bowl era, which was marked by severe droughts and stormy conditions that caused significant displacement and hardships for farmers and families in this region.

    Marble time in Farm Security Administration (FSA) migratory labor camp (emergency.) Plenty of space to play and plenty of companions for the children during pea harvest. Near Calipatria, Imperial Valley, California

    #ImperialValley #California #American #NearCalipatria

    https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017771507/

    The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene. In the center of the frame, there's a group of people gathered on a sandy ground. Some individuals appear to be sitting or standing near each other, with one person prominently holding up an American flag. To the right side of the image, there is a tent set up on the sand, which resembles a military-style tent often used in field operations. Above and to the left of the people, there's a windmill against the skyline. The setting suggests a camp or temporary living arrangement. In the lower right corner of the image, there is text that reads "Farm Security Administration (FSA) migratory labor camp (emergency), Near Calipatria, Imperial Valley, California." This text indicates that the photograph was taken within the context of the FSA's migratory labor camps program, which was active in the 1930s as part of the New Deal. The reference to "emergency" suggests that this specific camp may have been established during a period of crisis or hardship. The style and quality of the photograph suggest it could be from an earlier era given the absence of color and the graininess typical of older images.
