As promised, another great photo of people. This photo was once
again taken
at the construction town of Gorgona. This area was what I think
could be the back island of Gorgona. There was a main street that
ran up the middle of the island and eventually connected to the road
that went to Panama City over the Mandinga Bridge. I
remember seeing the type of drainage ditch on that island. The
curious thing about this photo is the road. It appears to be made
of wooden planks. What is seen in the photo may not be the road,
but a sidewalk made of wood. The people in this photo are at
leaser just sitting under this tree having a relaxing afternoon which
was more than likely a day off like Sunday. They are all dressed
in clean clothes and looking their Sunday best. The guy on the far
right has some thick leather gloves on. Not sure why, as they must
have been very hot! These are the men that built the Panama Canal.
Another
great historical capture in time. Another one next week.
