Misc. Library of Congress photos.

On another forum this guy posted a pic from theLibrary of Congress's photo collection.
So I started leafing through it, and figured I'd post some of the stuff here.

So yea, they aren't in any order at all. Just posted as I found them.

The pic that guy posted.

The above and below pics are by Ansel Adams, and come from his book Born Free and Equal (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/aamhtml/aamborn.html)
It was published in 1945, and featured images from a Japanese internment camp in the US. The pics I saw
seemed to paint a happy picture of life in the camp. But I put that down to the internees determination to make
the best out of a craptastic situation. I think the title of the book doesn't leave much doubt as to what Adam's thought about internment.
