Dallas South Dakota

Dallas, South Dakota, May 13, 1936. Buried machinery in barn lot during the Dust Bowl, an agricultural, ecological, and economic disaster in the Great Plains region of North America.

When I saw this, it made me say "wow". It seems to be an excellent illustration of the Dust Bowl. It was created by the USDA and so is public domain. Their web site says that a higher resolution version is available on request. -- Beland 20:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Oppose. Even though historically significant, this is a bit too small at 640x480. Find a larger version, and I'll reconsider. --Janke | Talk 20:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose for res, request the higher res, upload that, and then I'll support (if the high res is quality). Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
