Pristine-light > Container ship crossing
Only in Panama will you have to stop on a road to let giant container ships cross!
Pristine-light > Lake Gatun
Lake Gatun, the artificial fresh water body linking through locks the Pacific with the Atlantic Oceans, offers a sureal view of large sea vessels crossing in a tropical central american landscape.
Pristine-light > Canons
These rusted canon once protected the spanish fort of San Lorenzo  from any invasion from land or sea. They are now a reminder of a Panama that no longer exist, the Panama of the Spaniards and of the greater Columbia.
Pristine-light > Fort San Lorenzo
The Spaniards realized the strategic importance of Panama early in the 16th century, and they established military outpost to allow for the transfer of gold and precious cargo from their Pacific fleet to their Atlantic fleet. The ruins of Fort San Lorenzo shown on this picture date back to the 16th century and were declared a world heritage by the UNESCO in 1983.
Pristine-light > Tropical Flower
Like neighboring Costa Rica, Panama has a rich and interesting tropical rainforest yielding beautiful tropical plants.

Pristine-light > Gatun Locks
When arriving in Panama from the Atlantic side, ships that want to cross the Panama Canal have to go through the Gatun's Lock as shown in this picture.
Pristine-light > Storm in the Yucatan Pass
On July 4th, we encountered a tropical storm while sailing through the Yucatan Straight (between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba). This storm became a hurrican in the Gulf of Mexico, so we were really lucky. Seconds after this shot I was soaked in sea water, luckily my camera was not!
Pristine-light > Sunset on a Seismic vessel
Beautiful sunset in the Gulf of Mexico. An industry seismic vessel is seen on the lower right corner.
