There may be mixed feelings about the Pan Am Games, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that the event is very photogenic. After all, infrastructure gets built, things go boom, and athletes perform amazing feats. And so we stop and marvel at these highlights, and present another Pan Am gallery courtesy of the wonderful people who contribute to our Flickr pool.
