This week's photo is a more recent photo that CZ Images contributor Bill
Fall took on his trip to Panama this year. The photo was taken
from Ancon Hill, looking towards Sosa Hill. This is a really great
photo of what this area looks like today. There are several
interesting things in this photo. Of course, the Balboa Dock area
is now completely changed as a container port, but look at Sosa
Hill. The tree planting that Boy Scouts and others did over the
years finally made a difference. The old rock is turning back into
jungle. Also I found it interesting that it appears that a pole
roof was built over the Balboa Club House. I am not sure if they
use this for open air functions / parties or what. I didn't notice
this when I was in Panama this past January. I zoomed into the original
photo that Bill sent me and you can see that this is a separate roof
than that of the club house roof. Maybe a CZ Images visitor can
elaborate on what happened here. The old Commissary, Theater and House wares
buildings are still there, being used by the ACP.
Thanks
for this really nice photo Bill...
