In April 2018, we did a partial Panama Canal cruise on the Carnival Miracle.
A partial meant that we passed through the Gatun Locks from the Caribbean. We sat for a few hours in Gatun Lake and then passed back through the Gatun Locks to the Caribbean.
This is a photo of the ship as it travels south into the second Gatun Lock.
In the summer of 2009, I worked in the community of Boo Yala, Panamá (close to Panama City) doing public health evaluative research on their water and sanitation systems. In my time with the community residents, who are all indigenous Kuna Panamanians, I was given nothing but support and love. It was lovely having chats with people as I went from house to house doing surveys and I am still humbled by their warmth and openness towards me.
This sweet little girl, named Genesis, was playing with her dolls at the back of one of the homes I visited. She enthusiastically posed with her prized toys and exudes pure joy in this photo.
I would love to return there and find Genesis, who is probably all grown up now!
This is timeblend of a sunset and Blue hour… the water was recessing and i loved the reflection. This was captured during my last night in Panama, I was exhausted after capturing the beautiful wildlife in the rainforest which was one of the toughest shooting experience I had.

Skyline of Panama City from the Casco Viejo, in the foreground you see the Cinta Costeira, a sort of ring road built to decongest the city from the through traffic. It was a project which caused a lot of controversy especially opposed by Unesco World Heritage, but the authorities refused the tunnel alternative , claiming it was too costly. Now the Casco Viejois in danger of being removed from the World Heritage list.

Please do note fave my photos without commenting ( what do people do with thousands of faves, look at them every morning ?)
Heading north from Panama City on the Pacific Ocean to Colón on the Caribbean.
Originally built in 1855, the Panama Canal Railway runs as a commuter train for canal workers, as a railfan excursion and also as a freight operation. Shippers who can't wait for for their container ships to queue up for the canal and make the passage (or who don't have enough containers to justify the cost of canal passage) can drop their containers at a terminal where they are whisked away across the isthmus and placed on container ships on the other end.
The next stop was the highlight of the trip. a daylight transit of the
Panama Canal. Completed in 1914, it is a marvel of modern engineering. The entire transit took 9 hours.
Back from a family trip to Panama. It felt all too short but did get my rainforest fix. This was the rainy season and conditions were overcast and rainy mostly. But I stuck to my approach of no-flash and using higher ISO to get deeper colors but at the cost of noise. But not complaining ... The Central American and north S. American form of the Violaceous Trogon is now considered a different species. August 2013.
