The Panama Canal, of which I have written about before, is a marvel of engineering. Not only the lock system but also the massive works required to create the channel and the man-made lake that serves as the holding pond for the ships in the middle of their passage. Ships await passage in either side of the Canal, in the Atlantic or Pacific, as well as in that holding pond of a lake.
An uncle of mine was able to take two amazing pictures that capture “the scene” of ships waiting. The ships look like ants – or tadpoles!
