Four versions of this image are available: the full size original, a poster version of that original, a cropped vertical rendition perfect for a book cover or a special-needs wall space, and a panoramic crop.
Please note: the poster greeting card version uses Costa Rica's flag's color, blue white & red, for its bordering.
There have been very few times I was lost, knew I was lost, and was okay with it - this was one of them (smiles).
Though la Casita where my wife and I stayed in Costa Rica was an at times winding, a few times steep walk or drive up the mountain from the beach just below along the Pacific, we were far from the top of the mountain itself. Twice I hiked alone into the jungle accent and both times got very lost. This was my first attempt trying to find a waterfall, and had emerged onto this sphere spit of land with drop-offs on three sides. The day before, my wife and I with some of our family also visiting Costa Rica at the same time, had traveled a short distance away to a gondola ride up into the jungle mountains - and the view here is of the beach at Jaco we had driven past plus the road we’d taken to the right to the gondola.
I knew then I was lost.
But wonderfully so. The air was cooler than below. Breezes flitted easily around me.
On a branch of the tree on the right is a spherical object I’d just learned from our hosts a few days before was a termite nest. Smart creatures built their homes in good healthy trees and commuted (on many feet presumably) to fall branches on the ground nearby to eat :)
On this particular adventure I was rescued and led to a trail I could recognize by a young Nicarguan coffee farmer working nearby. I had heard his and his companions voices as I’d wandered to Parrot Hill, and eventually gave in and hollered out to them in what must be the universal cry around the world - “Hello!” (smiles)
My other rescue, the second time I got lost is depicted in my next upload to FAA.
It was one amazingly lucky shot I got while using two very sharp very tall climbing sticks Chuck (one of my Airbnb hosts) had cut and carved out with his machette for me!
