Boquete, Chiriqui

Just a small album this time, photos from around the central area of Boquete. Despite the many sites extolling the virtue of this place, variously described as anything from a ‘mountain village’ to a ‘city’ , it is a typical panamanian interior town for the most part. Unfortunately it is also a town that has been gringo’d to the point that much of it’s character has been lost. Simply sitting down for a coffee in one of the many cafes will attract the ‘pensionado realtors’ like moths to a candle.

There are some beautiful homes in the gated communities surrounding the town, at a price. Far too many of them. The towns infrastructure has failed to keep up with the numbers and for most supplies at trip down the hill to David is in order.

The damage caused by the recent floods seems to have been confined to the area close to the river, as the river level rose fast but also dropped quickly after the surge passed through the town.

Driving up to the town from David I was shocked to see the whole plateau above the town, which 4 years ago was open countryside, has now become covered in new buildings. I wasn’t impressed with Boquete back then, and even less so on this trip. JMHO

    I think you will want to add a facebook icon to your site. I just bookmarked the site, however I must complete this by hand. Simply my advice.

    Great image forensics tool: pskiller.com. Have you ever wondered if an image was altered with Photoshop? This website can give you the answer through content-level image analysis.

    Photoshopped Image Killer can detect various settings that were used in the digital camera in taking the photo, and also compares an image against a large number of compression signatures. PSKiller resports whether image comes from digital camera directly or from Photoshop. This is extremely useful when you have some suspiciouly edited images.
