Volcanic reef

A few days ago I showed a photo of the reef of volcanic rock that is exposed at San Francisco Point at low tide. The texture, color and patterns of the surface vary in this area.

This photo is a small sample of the walking surface that allows us to walk at water level around the point that divides Tamarindo Beach from Playa Langosta. At high tide, the waves crash over this point and it is necessary to take a short trail to bypass the point.

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

Shell

I confess that do not post very many macro photos, unlike my wife who does spectacular macro photography, as readers of her Scottsdale Daily Photo website know.

So, with Julie's encouragement but without meeting her standards, here is a macro photo of a shell on Langosta Beach.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. This week we have a special treat -- aerial photos of the Nazca lines in Peru, one of the most amazing sights on earth and a remarkable and puzzling achievement of man centuries ago.
