The Panama canal is truly beyond words. As I sit and enjoy dinner, the cargo ships ease their way through the locks. The shear size of these vessels is beyond comprehension until you are within 10 meters. Generally speaking, the ships unload their cargo as fee to pass through the 4 sets of locks is based on weight. The cargo is then transported on land to other side. In some cases, it is worth the hassle to keep the cargo on board.
Dinner at Miraflores locks is lovely, particularly at sunset. This picture is taken just as the sunset starts to descend beyond the horizon to the west (right in this photo). I'm looking to the southwest as this multi-colored vessel passes through the locks.
