The great thing about Panama’s Canopy Tower where I stayed for four nights, is that you are literally up in the treetops. This is where toucans, sloths and other creatures spend the majority of their time. I could photograph them from eye level, rather than looking straight up, usually with a bright, white sky in the background. Another treat of being up in the canopy, is the view that presented itself every morning, with mist and clouds nestled into the hills.

Yes. It used to be a US military tower. It was converted to a lodge. This photo was taken from the rooftop deck which rises above the top of the trees. It’s a great place to view and photograph birds that spend all their time in the canopy, plus sloths. And other nocturnal mammals at night.
