“And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.” Genesis 11:5
Panama City on the narrow Isthmus of Panama, is transforming itself into a new metropolis. Even as we speak, most of the highways are being modernized, a metro is being built, several new traffic overhead pathways are on the design board, more than 1,500 new modern buses will replace the depleted Diablos Rojos, the Coastal Strip Three is underway, and hundreds of high-rise buildings are under construction. By the year 2014 Panama City will compete with Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Miami and other gorgeous cities of the region.
The modern skyline, the Coastal Strip, the new Metro and the Old Shell will compete with the Panama Canal as the main attraction for international tourists looking for the latest lost paradise.
Below are a couple of pictures of the modern face of Panama City. Here we go.

Oh, I do like that black and white. I like all of them, as a matter of fact. Do you know about the “rule of thirds”? You’ve used it beautifully. The rule says that good photographs often divide into three parts – here, you have the water, the dock across the middle of the photo, and then the skyline. Beautifully composed!
Morning Linda:
Yes, I’ve read about the “Rule of Thirds”. Try to use it when I remember about it.
Thank you so much Linda, for your words of encouragement. I promise to keep on trying to learn the ropes.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Omar.-
