Amazing photos, I want to see some more cool surf spots ones man! Those are knee high come on... ;)

Panama has some awesome surfing, but who wants to take pictures when you go surfing? Not me!
Plus with a 1 and 3 year old I almost never get to go.

Fabulous group of photos that capture the essence of Panama and Life in Panama. They evoke all the reasons I moved to Panama permanently. Thanks Brian for your exquisite work.

I'm glad that you enjoyed them Bob.

@mynameisbrian: I've also taken some photos and written some stories about Panama. Would you like to collaborate on a post or two?

Hi @firebat. Do you live in Panama or are you just passing through? I don't really plan on writing more Panama posts in the near term, but I would be glad to look over your posts to give you some tips if you'd like.

Took a look at your first post...

Panama is a very flat country. With nearly 2500 km of shoreline and only 75,000 km2 of total area, there isn't much opportunity for tall mountains

Perhaps no super tall mountains here but I would say Panama is most definitely not flat. If it were the canal would have been quite a bit easier to construct.

@mynameisbrian: I come and go.

You're right -- the locks would not be necessary if Panama was perfectly flat. However, real mountains are few and far between.
