Between the Locks (3)
travelling through the Gaillard Cut one sees the terrasses and fortifications on the manmade mountains to avoid erosion and run-off from the rain (which falls quite often).

A Man-Made Mountain
Adele D. Oliver
.
The Gaillard Cut, or Culebra Cut, is an artificial valley that forms part of the Panama Canal, linking Lake Gatún, and thereby the Atlantic Ocean, to the Gulf of Panama and hence the Pacific Ocean. It is 12.6 km (7.8 mi) from the Pedro Miguel lock on the Pacific side to the Chagres River arm of Lake Gatun, with a water level 26 m (85 ft) above sea level.

Dieser Man-Made Mountain muss ordentliche Dimensionen haben, können Menschen doch Berge versetzen?LG monika

in a way it's even vaguely reminiscent of those old maya/inka temples and monuments – so it doesn't look "half as atrocious" as you'd think… ; )) great shot again, adele! i like how the terrassed hill is protruding from the very light waters, looking like a strange green hat! hugs, sabine.Maria Grazia Bacino 1.

I think these interesting-looking manmade mountains are important. They detain the erosion and let the rains run off more controlled.For me it´s fascinating to get to know about it. I never have seen something like this.
