I had the same thoughts. I'm not even sure it's a candid picture. The
couple look too healthy and just too damn pretty to be bean pickers. I
wonder if it's a still from an old movie about bean pickers.
FWIW, pixdaus has thousands of pictures, many of which evoke strong
feelings. There are some, like this one, of people and times past,
there are many of lonely, forgotten places, deserted castles,
monasteries, wrecked ships, exotic small towns all over the world,
etc. There's the usual assortment of cute animal pix, beautiful girls,
sunsets, landscapes, etc.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have a very efficient search capability, so
it's hard to find your way back to a particular shot unless you
bookmark it.
It's a great time sucker.
