Costa Rica

May 2004: This two week trip to Costa Rica was my first out of North America and my first captured entirely with digital photography. While some of my composites are admittedly primitive, the natural beauty of this small nation’s mountains, forests, oceans, seas, volcanoes, wildlife, and people more than compensate. Featured locations include the town of Cahuita along the Caribbean coast, Fortuna and its volcano and waterfall, the cloud forests of Monteverde, and the incomparable Peninsula de Osa.
