This week's photo is from the same collection I recently acquired.
Like last week's photo, here is another observation tower. After
scanning a high resolution scan and panning all over the photo, I
couldn't find any identification that shows where or what this tower was
for. There is a word or words carved into the top railing that
says, "Learnest" or Lear Nest". Could be referring
to the Lear Macaw or maybe it is the name of the person who sat at the
top of the tower all day. There doesn't appear to be a roof on
this tower like last week's photo. The photographer cut the heads
off the people sitting in the top of the tower in order to try and get
everyone in the photo. The photo is a bit washed out from shooting
the camera at an object with a brightly lit background. The photo
shows all men and one woman. It appears to be taken on a day off
as everyone is well dressed and just clowning around. The woman is
a large woman and looks as if she could take care of herself very
well. She has a very mean look about her. HA! There is a date
printed on the photo that looks like 1-29-11.
Another
great historical capture in time from the American Construction Days of
the Panama Canal.
