Sunset reflected in the waves

Yesterday's sunset photo showed the crashing fury of the waves against San Francisco Point. In the sheltered waters of the southern end of Tamarindo Bay, the gentle wave action as water retreats slowing on the gently sloping beach provides a more subtle and muted palate for reflecting the sunset.

Tomorrow I will begin a short series that will illustrate that despite the modern condo buildings and resorts of Tamarindo, Costa Rica is still a developing country.

We are showing the spectacular scenery of Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, near the southern tip of Chile on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.
