From the crest of the Papagayo peninsula, we have a delightful view of the sunset dropping behind the puffy clouds and backlighting the wispy clouds, with the forest and ocean below. The clouds add to the sunset, in my opinion, compared to a cloudless sky.
Sometimes when watching a sunset it pays to turn your back on the sunset and look towards the sky in the opposite direction. This is the scene of clouds in the Eastern sky catching the colors of the setting sun. 
The sun dropped a little lower in the sky as Julie and I drove around to take some photos of the Papagayo peninsula. Here you see the sun peaking through the agave leaves next to one of the lakes on the golf course.
The late afternoon sun pierces the leaves to cast long shadows on the Papagayo Golf Course. Late afternoon is the best time to take photos of golf courses, as the colors are warmer and deeper.
The Papagayo peninsula is so upscale that even the manhole covers are fancy, with a butterfly design. In fact, it is so upscale that it has underground utilities and manholes.
This is an aerial photo of the same beach area that I showed in my photos yesterday and the day before. The main lobby of the Four Seasons Resort is the large, curved building in the center of this photo, in the narrowest spot of the peninsula.
I took this photo from the same spot as yesterday's photo, but it shows the scene a little farther up the Papagayo peninsula, right next to the beach used by guests of the Four Seasons Resort.
This photo looks down on one of the two beaches at the Four Seasons Papagayo Resort. This beach faces the ocean, but it is in a cove so it is protected from the waves. The other beach is a short walk to the left of the scene in this photo, and it opens to a bay, so it does not have waves.
Golf courses provide wonderful views for high end homes and condos. You can see a row of either condos or Four Seasons hotel units on the ridge in this photo, overlooking the golf course, forest, and the Gulf of Papagayo. 
Here is another photo showing the Papagayo Golf Course, with the Gulf of Papagayo by in the distance. The project today is extremely environmentally conscious, perhaps in part because of the history I mentioned yesterday of violations in its early development.
This photo shows the Papagayo Golf Course, with a view cascading down the fairway to the Gulf of Papagayo. There are luxury hotels and resorts around the Gulf. 
I will be showing you a series of photos of the Papagayo Peninsula during the next week or two, starting with the photos of the entrance that I have shown during the past three days. To get you oriented, here is a photo of Papagayo from the air.
This is a closer view of the statues at the entrance to the Papagayo Peninsula. Each granite figure is bigger than a a car. The progression of four figures is evocative of birth or creation.
The trees I showed yesterday are part of the entrance to the Papagayo Peninsula. These statues are part of a huge water feature at the entrance. The guard station is at the right. 
I suspect that you will be able to observe several unusual or unnatural things about the grove of palm trees in this photo. They are uniform in size, height, and they are growing in rows right next to a manicured lawn. 
To add perspective to the photo that I showed yesterday, here is a wider shot with Julie on the bedroom balcony of our condo, next to the large balcony/patio off our bedroom and living room. 
Today is my wife's birthday, so allow me to say happy birthday by showing this photo of her, as she came out on the little "Juliet balcony" of the master bedroom of our condo after my little walk on the beach that I have shown you during the past few weeks.
Upon returning from my walk along the beach that I have shown during the last few weeks, here is the view of our condo building that awaits me from the beachfront gate that divides our condo from the beach. 
It is time to head back home. I hope you have found this little walk along Langosta beach of interest. Today's photo shows the house next door to our condo. 
This is a closer view of the rocky shore that I showed yesterday. This is not sand. It is a giant rock that has ridges from where the waves have carved little valleys in the rock. 
A little farther down the beach from the scene where I took the photo I posted yesterday is a spot on Langosta Beach were there is a strange rock formation on the shore rather than sand above the volcanic rocks under the water. 
This is a closer look at the three people who were walking along the beach that I showed yesterday. As you can see, this guy is talking on a cell phone while walking next to a companion in a bikini and another young woman.
Here is a photo of Langosta beach, with some young people walking along the beach. Although it looks like this stretch of beach is just sand, surf and trees, there are some beachfront mansions behind the trees along the beach, as I will show in the future.
The trees along Langosta Beach also reveal some nice hammocks to enjoy a nap or read a book while listening to the surf. This hammock is unusual, as it is made of straw and hangs from a tree with walking roots. If the trees between which the hammock is hung "walk" in opposite directions, they might have to make an adjustment to the hammock.
This is a display of some of the jewelry for sale on the beach at the Barcelo Resort, which is on Langosta Beach about 50 yards or meters south of our condo. Local people make very colorful necklaces and bracelets and there are about three or four tables such as this to display the goods.
I like the vegetation along Langosta Beach, as there are trees and bushes along the sand so that you can barely see the beachfront houses as you look down the beach. 
The girl in yesterday's photo got a little more bold in playing with the waves. I think every child who has played at the beach has chased the waves, and had the waves chase them.
Several days ago I showed a family under a shade tree on the beach. The father got up to wade in the surf and a girl who appeared to be his daughter came to the water's edge, looking a little tentative. 
Today's worldwide Daily Photo Theme is "Perspective." OK, I admit it. My photo today is a strange interpretation of that theme. This photo shows what I presume is an unusual perspective: having a view of the ocean while seated on a toilet.
