Construction of the Panama Canal[edit]
Interesting image, and the only panorama on the Library of Congress site depicting construction of the Panama Canal.
- Nominate and support. --BRIAN0918 00:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)0
- Weak oppose I see no action - was this taken on a Sunday? ;-) Sure, historically significant, but there must exist better quality images than this, even if not panoramic. --Janke | Talk 06:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose I like the idea of featuring the Panama Canal. Unfortunately this image dosn't convey anything beyond an ordinary building site, maybe for a railway. It is also unusually ugly. --Philopedia 16:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support This is a unique photograph, although it's not the best quality. Cab02 22:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose per Janke. Kind of interesting, but not much happening. --jjron 10:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support i agree with cab02 Childzy talk contribs 15:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support A very interesting shot, and I do say that you might classify this as "semi-rare", since you can no longer go and take a picture of the construction. However, the resolution isn't amazing, but the overall uniqueness makes up. Political Mind 02:37, July 12, 2006 (UTC).
- Oppose. Not very encyclopedic. Interesting topic, but the picture could as well have been taking in my backyard. Yes, I do have a canal in my backyard :-). I don't get an "overview" here. Can't really link the shapes to the canal. — Vildricianus 21:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose for me the quality is worse than the historical value. That and its boring... -Ravedave 03:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, as the image is extremely distorted. Titoxd(?!?) 15:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
