Young woman stepping out of the ocean

The young woman in this photo was obviously enjoying herself swimming at Tamarindo beach. She was with a friend and emerged from the surf with a bit of flair, don't you think?

She looks a bit like the pose of the Winged Victory statue in the Louvre, a copy of which is atop the dome of the Arizona State Capitol.

As you may recall from past photos, I try not to be discriminatory, so I will balance today's photo with a similar photo tomorrow, which my female readers may prefer.

We are showing photos of Tanzania this week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.

  2. I wouldn't mind a beach vacation right now - but my wife would remind me that I just came back from a long vacation.....

  8. She's certainly worthy of a photo, even to an old guy like me.

  9. I wonder if she was celebrating having been in the water or celebrating getting out?
