Photos from Costa Rica.
Ox cart in Costa Rica
We were on our way to Quepos from Jaco in a taxi, we had waited a few hours for the bus and after seeing none heading south, we grabbed a taxi. This is along the main road that runs near the Pacific Coast. While we were unsuccessful in taking a bus down to Quepos, we were able to catch a directo bus back to San Jose but were able to get off near Jaco and walk the mile(?) back. This is an old photo from my second or third trip to Costa Rica, I’ve always loved this particular photo.
I’m not sure if I took it with a film camera or a digital camera and had them converted to digital at the time of developing, the photo EXIF information is vague but has the word Kodak (that’s who would have done the conversion but I also had a digital pocket Kodak camera at that time).
Barbed wire on the road to Cabuya
Some empty tree land (farm land?) on the road from Montezuma to Cabuya (on the Pacific side of Costa Rica). I was just walking to see what I might find (I was specifically looking for some more waterfalls).
I thought it was extra green around here so I was taking a lot of photos and started playing with the focus a bit.
A lonely doll washed up on shore
Yes, I know it’s a little creepy, but there is something I like about it. Actually, I’ve got four or five of these that I took with a few different cameras and there is something I really like about them (I took more, but there is 4 or 5 I really like). So, you might be seeing more of this doll in the future…
This is way up the beach from Montezuma, I think it’s where they do the surfing, I think it was when I stopped for lunch on the way to El Chorro Falls….
Looking down the zip line of doom!
“As I’m about to go careening down this zip line, dark foreboding clouds appear in the direction that I’m heading”.
Actually, I don’t think I had any thoughts of the sort. I was very excited to be doing this again (I had done it a few years before). Mark and I were driving from the North towards San Jose, Costa Rica and I saw the zip lines so we stopped so I could go for a ride.
This is an older photo, but I’ve always loved how it turned out. Taken with an old Kodak LS420 camera, I think it was only 2 MegaPixels and it was my first small digital camera.
Very Very Green
I just really like how the green looked in this photo. Somewhere above Montezuma Upper Falls in Costa Rica.
I don’t know this guy
But I really like the way this photo came out. The colors and the way the sun washes out part of the right hand side of the photo.
This is the start of the river from the big falls in Montezuma, Costa Rica.
