You may notice the common tool of a machete hanging from the belt of the cowboy in the foreground.
I took this photo last summer, which explains the late afternoon clouds. Right now is the heart of the high season, with sunny, dry weather.
This week we are showing photos of the dry, mountainous Atacama Desert of northern Chile on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. It is quite a contrast to the lush green coastal lowlands of Costa Rica.

Horse riding is a tough task, because as the horse runs, the jerks jolts the each and every joint of your body. So, the job of a cowboy is really tough.
He appears to be pretty content.
They do look like the are enjoying the work and enjoying their encounter with the American photographer.
Love close-ups! The hard works seems to agree with them.
Good series, thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to being down there in a week and bidding so long to the snow for a while.
such a great portrait. glad you gave us a close up.
You composed this well, with the riding cowboy close, his grinning mate in the middle and the disappearing cattle small behind.
Have you thought about using a blog format with bigger photographs? They usually benefit from being enlarged, and a larger standard format might coax more people to look closely at them.
