My City Of Ruins (*)

Panama Viejo

Song by Bruce Springsteen

Early this morning, I was coming back from an errand and saw the Panama's Old City Ruins and thought that there should be at least one song with "ruins" in the title. And I found Bruce's.

About the subject of the pic, these are the ruins of Panama's Old City, which was destroyed while English Pirate Sir Henry Morgan tried to sack it.

About the pic, the original was pretty bad. To show how photoshop can "save" a badly taken image, I've uploaded the original pic to: http://www.nugar.com/gallery/album01/hoc_6163c

Canon PowerShot G3
1/640s f/8.0 at 10.2mm iso50 full exif

You've captured the starkness of the scene well.

I'm not quite sure what they are. I'll have to check one of these nights if they are lights, or if they are markers. Some archaeologists are doing excavations there and they may be part of the grid markers.

Black and white works well here. These small vertical elements add nicely to the image of ruins, what are they?

Nice job. This is a fine shot as presented.
