Great pic, brings back memories. Worked on all three locks. Torrijos showed up one day at Pedro Miguel, drunk as a skunk with just a driver and no bodyguards. Alone, walked across a closed set of gates hanging on to the handrails for dear life, afraid to look down. Threw supervision in to a panic.I can attest to the grandeur of the Panama Canal.
Taken from an observation deck at the Miraflores Lock in 2017, ships headed north to the Pedro Migel Lock, then Lake Gatun, then the Gatun Lock, then on to El Caribe.

@sgt_zim , Did you seen any crocs in Miraflores lake? There are some big ones in it.
