Cookman Collection #2

November 29, 1939

This wide view shows a man standing at left foreground looking toward two small cat tractors parked in center, near middle ground, and a shovel excavator partially visible at right. The large, excavated pond is partially visible in middle ground, its edge marked on the photo with an ink line, and the excavated soil piled beyond. The caption identifies this as the completed south side of the canal. A thin layer of snow covers the foreground and middle ground. A thin line of background forest is apparent and far background mountains are faintly visible.
