Chillin' in The Big Easy

Today's image was relatively easy to find, being right on the tip of Louisiana and immediately eye catching. It tends to remind me or a picture of arteries or that background of electrons tracing out their movement paths. Google-Images has failed me and can not find the picture i'm talking about. It does, however, remain exceedingly good at finding pictures of Spam in odd situations.

So, we have what appears to be a canal cutting through the swampland that is Lower Lousiana. You can actually see quite a number of ships in the photo, and when you compare the sizes it seems like the canal is pretty damn wide. One thing which is odd though is how long the route stays in the swamp. If you were building a canal, why not cut the shortest route to open water?

Crazy Louisianians (say it out loud).

I'm sure someone has already told you the canal across the swamps of Louisiana, is the Intracoastal Waterway. Look at any state bordering the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. You will see the waterway goes from Brownsville Texas to New York City. pb

Ohhh, that's what it is (someone in fact has not yet told me)! Thanks that's good to know.
