Recently a dear friend in the States sent me a money remittance through a company called MoneyGram. I had never seen this company in Panama. All I knew is that people preferred to use Western Union to make money transfers for whatever reason. After a brief investigation, I learned that MoneyGram is represented in Panama by different entities, (e.g., Más Me Dan, Azteca Bank, CrediCorp Bank, and Elektra.)
Since there’s a CrediCorp Bank near my home at El Dorado, I drove to the site to receive the money. Besides having more money in my pocket, I found an amazing photograph of Panama City embedded on a wall of a local hotel. The photograph was ingeniously ingrained on mosaics which were neatly placed on a very wide wall, approximately 150 feet long. I had never seen a photograph this size. Having my P&S camera with me, I couldn’t resist the temptation of capturing the gargantuan image of Panama City.
Below are several shots taken of the huge photograph on the wall. Enjoy.

The yellow area that distort the picture is the reflection of powerful flood lights behind me while I was taking the picture. Sorry about that. Photo by ©Omar Upegui R.
