A friend (a retired publisher who is in her 70s) writes from the USA:

"Evans has long been one of my favorite photographers. While his portraits from the Great Depression in the rural U.S. South are perhaps best-known, his glimpses into American life and neighborhoods are just as revealing.

Although the arrangement of the photos on these sites is a bit cumbersome, you can find some of these landscape and building shots here:

There is currently a big Walker Evans show at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, running through 26 Jan, 2014. I hope to get down to see it."
