• A landscape (layout) photo taken from the cockpit of a sailboat under sail in the Gulf of Chiriqui, on Panama’s Pacific coast. The horizon bisects the image horizontally, balanced with blue sky above and blue ocean below. Golden clouds can be seen on the left edge of the photo from an off-camera sunset. The forward half of a sailboat’s cockpit, mast, and bow is visible on the right side of the image. Its boom stretches from overhead to the mast in the center of the image, where it intersects with the horizon. A man steers at the helm as the boat plunges into a white foam wave off the forward port quarter, which points the bow towards the horizon line.

    This is one of my favorite photos from my 3-years of cruising the Pacific on our Hallberg-Rassy 42, 'Andante.'  We were sailing in flat seas in the Gulf of Chiriqui as we made our way toward the Panama Canal.  Suddenly, wind and seas perked up with no clouds anywhere.  My friend and accomplished sailor, Chris Brown, on a close reach as the sun set on the horizon.  Transparency taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

  • Vertical photograph of a young Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The image focuses on her legs—spanning the bottom of her black and yellow patterned skirt, hemmed just above her knees, down to her feet. Her legs are tightly wrapped with yellow and terra cotta colored beads that form a geometric pattern on the calves of both legs. The colored lines change direction at right angles, similar to ancient Greek border patterns. She stands on compressed, matted green grass.

  • Close-up landscape photo of a woman, perhaps in her fifties, selling white corn at a market in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. In the lower half of the photo she has laid out a sheet of black plastic onto the street, over which she has poured a mound of white corn kernels that form a pyramid in the lower third of the image. In the upper half of the photo we see a large empty burlap gunny sack, laying on the sidewalk, used to transport the corn. She sits adjacent to her corn, with both legs tucked underneath her knees. Her long black hair, which is pulled to the back of her neck, matches her black long-sleeve sweater. She wears a Guatemalan embroidered blouse with red, orange, yellow, and pink flowers, and a dark blue skirt. Her eyes sparkle as she smiles at the camera without parting her lips.

  • Taken from the deck of an anchored sailboat, we look six feet down to the blue waters of Bahia Honda, a bay off the Pacific Ocean on the west coast of Panama. Two wooden boats, each about the size of a canoe, float in the blue water with the apex of the canoes close to the camera and the sterns fanning out left and right in opposite directions. Each canoe holds two shirtless boys, ranging in age from 9 to 18-years old. The boys smile as they stare curiously at the sailboat in front of them, which they have paddled out to investigate.

  • This landscape photo, from the Guna Yala region of Panama, shows dark powder blue water below the horizon, in the middle of the image; and a similarly dark powder blue sky—all through the filter of an imperceptibly light fog. In the middle of the photo, at the horizon line, a small round island is visible. The island is 150-200 feet away, and maybe another 100-feet in diameter. A cluster of dark green and dark teal palm trees rises from every inch of the island, 50-60 feet high. Intersecting the lower left third of the image we see a dugout canoe which is almost parallel to the lens. The stern is slightly more distant than the bow, which is tied to a stick jutting out of the water two canoe-lengths to the right. A fisherman sits in the canoe, his back to us, arms stretched out sideways, as he manages the fishing line.

  • This landscape photo, from the Guna Yala region of Panama, is taken from the perspective of standing on an island beach. In the lower 1/5 of the image we see a small flat wave receding from a dark mauve colored sand. The edge of the water ripples and foams as it pulls away from the beach. Above the receding wave, up to the horizon line in the middle of the photo, various shades of teal-colored water wrinkle from a soft breeze. In the middle of the photo, about 150-feet away, we see a ketch at anchor, its bow facing left into the wind. The setting sun, which is off camera to the right, illuminates the port side of the yacht in a soft golden light. Directly behind the sailboat, and perhaps another 100-feet distant, a small island with dark palm trees provides a backdrop to the bow, stern, and top of the glowing sailboat. A blue sky peeks through many clouds in the top half of the image. Clouds on the right side of the photo are also illuminated by the setting sun, which accents the blue sky with shades of gold, yellow, gray, and lavender.

The canoe slices the rectangular image at almost a 45-degree angle, from upper right to lower left. Sitting in the canoe, a sister and brother look up at the camera, curious but unsmiling. The eight-year-old sister steadies herself with her right hand on the starboard gunwale, her left arm around her younger brother, who is perhaps six years old. They both wear shorts and T-shirts, and their legs and knees are scuffed with dirt. She wears a light turquoise sleeveless T-shirt. Her brother wears a green T-shirt with a bright orange collar and orange sleeves down to his elbows. They wait for their father, who is selling us fruits and vegetables onboard our sailboat.

  • Shipwrecked. This image is a landscape photo of a tiny island in the Guna Yala region of Panama. We see a medium close-up of a woman standing on a large driftwood log in the center of the frame. She gazes through binoculars towards the left edge of the photo, searching for rescue. A stiff wind blows her medium-length blond hair off of her face. The sun-bleached driftwood log that she stands on is surrounded by white sand, but the ocean is only a few feet away. Beyond the island a dark blue Caribbean Sea churns over nearby coral reefs, while the blue sky darkens behind her.

  • This landscape photo taken in Tikal, Guatemala, looks over the top of a jungle canopy in the lower 2/3s of the image, its colors ranging from bright lime to deep forest green. We look down on the archeological ruins of the Temple of Talud and Tablero in the lower left third of the image, and up to the Temple of the Double Headed Serpent in the upper right corner with its roof comb high above the treeline. A ridge of mountains can be seen on the horizon, several miles distant, with a blue cloudless sky above.

  • Tikal, Guatemala. A zoom shot taken from a nearby pyramid shows the roof comb of Temple IV (Temple of the Double Headed Serpent)—at a height of 212-feet. The roof comb, which appears in the left third of the image, floats over lush green trees below it. A cloudless blue sky provides a colorful background. We see several people standing inside the doorway of the dark gray roof comb.

  • Tikal, Guatemala. The Temple of the Giant Jaguar, fills the photo from the perspective of standing at ground level 200-feet distant, looking up 180-feet up the face of the steep pyramid to the high roof comb. Blue sky and white clouds provide a backdrop for the upper 2/3s of the temple, which is framed by green trees on both sides. Ten visitors walking along the base of the pyramid appear miniscule.

  • This landscape photo, from the Boca del Toro region of Panama, shows a wooden pier jutting out from the right side of the image. The pier’s walkway is exactly on the horizon line. At the end of the pier, almost on the left side of the image, we see three separate thatched roofs held up by thin log supports. A soft golden light from the setting sun highlight the thin edge of the pier and thatched roofs facing the camera. The water, a muddy blue-teal pastel, is calm except for long ripples that turn the reflected roofs into dark brown, striated streaks on the surface. A bright blue sky provides a colorful contrast to the bright golden thatched roofs.

    Thatched Cabana Pier

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    The cabana on this pier takes on a golden glow in the setting sun near Bocas del Toro, Panama.  We had no idea that we would never again return: The September 11 terrorist attacks changed the world.  Image taken while cruising Central America in our Hallberg-Rassy HR 42 sailboat 'Andante,' in 2001.
