By all means visit Bound for glory at the Guardian Unlimited. It's a slide show of a dozen colour photographs taken in rural America long ago. It's amazing how colour makes the people and scenes seem vivid and immediate, even when that world has vanished.
And here is the entire collection of colour photos from the Farm Security Administration.
Really neat pictures, thank you. My mother worked at an aircraft factory for 35 years, as a drill press operator, and the railroad picture had me thinking about her. The world becomes too fast and foreign as we grow older. I was born in 1951.
