  • A pod of cacao beans on a tree in a Costa Rican plantation. The beans from this pod will be turned into chocolate. This pod was about 8 inches or 20 cm long.
  • A suspension bridge across a river in Costa Rica with an X support bracing the main tower. This bridge in the tropical jungle was 200-300 meters long.
  • A cargo freighter unloading at a dock in Costa Rica. The four cranes on the ship lift the cargo off.
  • More than thirty deck chairs lined up in a row on the deck of a cruise ship near the pool.
  • A macro close-up view of an iguana who, conveniently, chose to stick its tongue out. The shallow depth of field leaves the immediate focus on the eye with the background blurred and out of focus.
  • Fort Geronimo was an ancient Spanish fortress built in Portobelo, Panama to protect the Spaniards from pirates in the Caribbean.
  • Three vultures sitting on an old church tower with peeling paint and a dark, ominous cloudy sky in the background give a foreboding sense. This image is almost in black and white.
  • A single rusty cannon pointing towards a harbor filled with boats. This old fort protected the harbor.
  • One of the main buildings at Gatun Locks in the Panama Canal with a large container ship full of cargo in the background.
  • The central building at the Gatun Locks on the Panama Canal. The door provides a portal to view some of the equipment and the mountains in the background.
  • Two freighters, assisted by tugboats, are preparing to transit the Panama Canal starting at Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side. These container ships are fully loaded with cargo heading west towards the Pacific.
  • Several freighters, assisted by tugboats, are entering the Panama Canal at Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side. These container ships are fully loaded with cargo heading west towards the Pacific.
  • Industrial equipment on the main mast and smokestack of a large cruise ship. They look like jet engines but are probably air blowers and heat exchangers used to provide ventilation.
  • One of two lighthouses flanking the Panama Canal at the Gatun Locks. The stark white paint contrasts nicely with the hazy early morning light. Two of the locomotives used to guide ships are on each side of the lighthouse.
  • A detailed view of an artificial climbing wall with multi-colored holds spread throughout the wall. A close look shows two cables used for belaying.
  • A view of the top of a climbing wall from below.
  • A recreational climbing wall located on the aft side of the main smokestack on board a cruise ship.
  • On Aruba, this tug was towing this small submersible submarine used to take tourists offshore to cruise past old shipwrecks. The reef in the background is just ourside the main harbor.
  • A line of aqua-blue deck chairs are organized along a walkway on a cruise ship.
  • A view of the main harbor on Aruba looking inland. This photo, from a cruise ship, looks down over the city and boats.
