Panama

I spend several nights drawing this map of Panama.


This is a close up of the old town (Casco Antiguo) and its monuments.
There is a subway, too (mostly to be completed).

Before this project I was thinking of Panama as a small town on the Pacific Ocean.

I was wrong.
It is not only a very old spanish town but its mid town remember me an american metropolis as Seattle or Chicago as you can see here.

Below the skyscrapers there is the old town or Casco Antiguo with lower and old buiding and churches as an european town.
The yacht and other boats are just on the panama channel which started on the left of the picture.
Here is a closer view of casco Antiguo.
The church tower belongs to the Iglesia of San Francisco de Asis.
Just below the Teatro National.
In the first row, the obelisk of Plaza de Francia.
