panama city

Parque Natural de Metropolitano is a wildlife refuge within the limits of Panama City. It is home to monkeys, hummingbirds, agouti and more. The hill in the park overlooks downtown Panama City in the distance framed by the tropical forest. After coming to the end of the trail in the park he consults his google maps on his phone to look for a way to walk to the city center. It appears to be feasible, however, the roads shown on the map are not city streets but actually 4 lane highways which lead to offramps which lead to other offramps with no observable access to city streets. He comes to a toll booth plaza and skirts it hoping to find an exit ramp but only to discovers a ravine with a bridge over a polluted creek. He pauses before crossing. At the edge of the ravine he spots two brilliantly colored birds. A crimson backed Tanager is perched on the same bush as a bluegray Tanager. As he approaches they simultaneously fly off in different directions and disappear from view. A toll booth collector approaches him and asks how he ended up on the side of the highway. Stranded traveler replies that he had been in Parque Naturale and had become lost. The collector correctly responds that the park is several kilometers in the opposite direction so how did he end up beside the highway. Stranded traveler feigns ignorance due to lack of familiarity with the roads and the obvious language inabilities. The collector walks away shaking his head.

The economy of Panama City is fuelled by revenues from the Panama Canal and a thriving international banking industry. Ships line up in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans waiting to pass through the locks. The ships look like a contemporary Normandy invasion. The downtown area is complete with skyscrapers, hotels, banks, casinos

and shopping malls which are new and large and as modern as any found in the US. Cars are the preferred means of transportation creating a continuous flood of traffic in the urban area. The US dollar is used as a currency. The ATM machines dispense dollars as opposed to balboas.

The background from the original video has been deleted leaving only the figure against a green backdrop. This video animation was played on a Samsung Galaxy S4 and documented in three different locations. The first location was in front of the BBA building or the Revolution Tower. It was designed by Pinzon Lozano. The second location was looking out towards the ships waiting offshore to go through the Panama Canal from a park on the downtown waterfront. The third location was at the Miraflores Locks on the outskirts of Panama City while the ship Wallensius Wilhemsen was passing through.
