Colorado Dust Storm, c1936

The after effects of a dust storm in Colorado circa 1936, during the Dust Bowl era. The photo shows a building (barn?) covered with dust. The exact location wasn't specified by the photographer (nor was the actual photographer) but this photo was collected by the Farm Security Administration. What a lot of dust!

Date & Place: circa 1936 in Colorado United States of America
