shot from Ancon hill, at night. on the top left you can see both Miraflores locks, Pedro Miguel locks, and the lake. because of the foreshortening of the telephoto lens, the changing sea level from lock to lock is clearly visible. |
view of panama city from ancon hill, looking in the direction of the Hilton. on the top right you can see bits of the road along the bay... (avenida Balboa???) |

looking toward the Thatcher ferry bridge...note the streaks of light: on the bridge, in the canal and on the road going through Balboa. since this exposure was about 20 seconds, those are objects, cars and boats, moving through the scene. Dec '69. |
1968 night photo of the station note the clothes hanging from the poles on the ceiling.. .this was done to avoid mold growing on them. |

pulling into one of the northbound chambers of the Miraflores locks... this was a July 1970 pre-dawn transit aboard the MV Toyota Maru... it carried Toyotas from Japan, and coal, iron ore or other bulk cargo on its return. |

This view is looking toward the bay and Avenida Balboa... and everyone's favorite restaurant, "La Pampas." the streaks are cars moving during the 20 second exposure time. |
