Spotted this very narrow comfort facility at the Panama Canal (top of photo). This is used by the workers who are located on the small "islands" between the locks. You can even see the fellow washing his hands near the door. Taken on our cruise of South America in 2008. The "mules" on the tracks in the foreground are used to help center the ships as they transit the canal locks. The tall structure on the very right is part of the fire-fighting equipment of the Canal. Image processed with GIMP.

On our trip through the Canal in 2018, we saw several changes. One of which included the lawn signs near the Canal entrance. Just One Word, for Sunday Challenge. Image processed with GIMP.

Open door Sunday Challenge. This "office" was a small building in one of the locks of the Panama Canal. This 2018 transit was yet another Canal one for us (10 so far?), and it was made more interesting by torrential rains.
