Panama Canal 1999

Taken on a cruise ship going through the Panama Canal in 1999.
One of the last passages before the Panamanians received full control of the Canal. The water pouring into the lock came from Gatun Lake. When the ship proceeded to the next lock the filled lock was pumped back to the level of lake to allow the next ship to enter.
