Traditional 'Chinampa' lake gardens and canals, Mexico, 1912

Such smart farming! I’m surprised they make the canals so deep they need boats to get around though.

Great picture! I’m surprised that I’ve never seen a modern photo of the Chinampas (that aren’t from Xochimilco) I always thought the system came in desuse way before the times, or that the city someone engulfed most of the lake by the time the technology existed.
