As polluted as Panama City can be, ours is a rare capital city with forests and even wilderness areas within. Of course, there are those whose notion of progress is to pave all such places. Meanwhile, however, scenes like these persist on Ancon Hill. These photos were taken on April 9, just after Panama City's first decent rainstorm after a prolonged dry season. Unfortunately for canal operations and the city water supply, the shower did not seem to be the start of a regular rainy season. Photos by Eric Jackson
