costa rica, “the rich coast” named upon columbus’ arrival on the atlantic shores prove that some are not so rich any more, in human values that is. who can we blame but ourselves as our society and earth becomes more sophisticated by the second? just last week, a green light for gold mining was given by the court, allowing the destruction of hectares of prestine forests and abuse and contamination of essential resources. what do they care anyway, right? it’s not like they have great grandchildren to look after..

on a calm and breezy afternoon, the mayoreo market in avenida 10 is quite and considerably deserted. located as a secondary entrance to the downtown core from west to east, its neighboring municipality makes this site a prominent landmark; and the other way around of course. i find a mission in me to explore such public spaces, that are not yet public enough; capture them and promote them.

these beautiful days here in beijing are reminding me of home: still nice, just a bit nicer. not too long of a drive from anywhere in costa rica, one is blessed with amazing sights of greenery. these are usually complemented by bright blue skies, with some sort of a variation of clouds that play with the everbright sunlight. the temperature is also perfect.

there was an earthquake just a few kilometers from home. even though i wasn’t really there i was told that this 4.8 magnitude quake felt like a 6 or 7, due to its proximity. as earthquakes in chile continue, it becomes more difficult to understand and accept this phenomenon. all there is to do is to remain calm, if one is in the position to collaborate and help in anyway, give an extra hand.

marked by mayan civilation around two to four thousand years ago, these amazing rocks still hold their shapes and representations as we respect and preserve them. in this new year season, it is important to remind ourselves that even though time is passing and we are relieved from happenings we must value and treasure our memories and accomplishments for good or bad in order to progress and succeed.

you can easily notice this was in the shade. i could only admire the reflection from the afternoon rays into the cool shade bouncing under the wavy petals. from the cold concrete surrounding i couldn’t help but dram my attention into the warmth the sunflower brought to this cozy garden.
happy birthday sumie!
