PANAMA CANAL (MIRAFLORES LOCKS)
Here are pics at the Miraflores Locks along the Panama Canal just a few miles inland from the Pacific. Go here for pics in other areas along or near the Panama Canal.

Some views of the locks at Miraflores...including this one to the north (inland, towards the Caribbean side)...



The actual lock...



Views of a ship going from north to south through Miraflores Locks (in chronological order)...















Note at this time, a second ship (also going from north to south is going through the second lock (adjacent to the first one)...



Both ships adjacent to each other (though the 2nd one was still higher in elevation as the water level had not lowered all the way yet)...



Finally, the first ship exited to the Pacific...



All of the above pictures on this page were taken in February 2011 by Brandt Maxwell.
