Panama Canal Locks*
by Denise

Panama Canal

These are the Gatun Locks, the first set as you enter the Canal from the Atlantic Side. The Panama Canal was completed in 1914.

Nice shot. When I first went to enter the Exhibition, I pulled up some of my panama canal shots and was thinking about them as an entry...then I went to the gallery to have a look, and what do I see? You beat me to it!

Nice shot, Denise. Almost 100-year-old technology that works so well!
This is a view I missed when we went through. We went for breakfast after we entered the first lock and, by the time we got back on deck, we were sailing into the Gatun Lake!

Very interesting and pretty scene Denise. I've read that constructing the canal was one of the most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken. You've done a great job of capturing this part of it.
