Hola Pedro,
I only remember Managua from the news, back in the time of the conflict with the USA and the revolution.
So it is very interesting to see this picture, a wide scope and vividly colorful town.
Buen dias,
Ike

Bonjour, cher Pedro,
Voilà une composition étonnante et très originale.
J'aime la présence de ces arbres aux couleurs fortes implantées à travers la ville qui semble s'étaler jusqu'aux contreforts des montagnes.
Merci pour la note.
Amitiés.

Hello,
Interesting panoramic view of the city. Not very touristic as I know, is the safety still a problem there?

Hi Pedro,
Interesting POV of the town with nice colors, strange vivid colors for these original trees ... Light is well captured.

Hello Pedro.
I haven't seen a photo of Managua before on TE, so thanks for this fine shot and good note. It looks like a genial and attractive city in this shot, with lots of vegetation and not too many tall buildings. I like those brightly coloured tree sculptures! Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour Pedro,
Comme si il n'y avait pas assez d'arbres aux feuilles vertes dans le paysage, quelqu'un en a profité pour installer des arbres rouges et bleus. Bonne idée.
Amicalement

Hello Pedro,
Strange trees in vivid colours on the foreground :)
But honestly this capital seems to have a lot of greenery in between the buldings.
Perhaps this is a suburb?
Is Managua an interesting city?

Hola Pedro,
It's very interesting to see a view of Managua. I like those colorful artistic trees, and all the actual greenery everywhere. I took a good look at all the buildings, and, of course, I noticed the McDonald's sign, too. Nice POV.

Ola Pedro,
Bonita vista colorida de Managua, con los techos o los edificios, pero también con los arboles, de verdad, o las estructuras artisticas.
Era un exposiciòn temporal o los arboles de color son ahì para quedar ?
Gracias por compartir.
Saludos cordiales.
Marie-Louise.
