this pic has something in it that looks odd to me.The Library of Congress has teamed up with Flickr and has made a huge number of photos taken in the 1930s and 40s available to the public. I have gotten hooked on them. They are fascinating to look through to see the stages of develop and the change in societ [sic] as you move from the 30s (depression, dustbowl, share cropping, etc.) to the 40s and the wind up to WWII.
Almost all of these pics have little dirt spots and fuzzy-wuzzies on them, along with an occasional pinpoint flaw of some sort, but this pic has something in it that looks odd to me. Would like to get your input on what you think of it.
