Costa Rica. Pura Vida by redy4et

Costa Rica. Pura Vida


"Pure Vida" is one the most commonly used phrases in Costa Rica. It means pure life and symbolizes the idea of enjoying life and being happy. Pura Vida can be used as a greeting,
a farewell, and as a way to express gratitude.
Took this shot from the beach at Hacienda Pinilla. It's SOOC. Here, we're facing west so the sun dives directly into the sea. At home, our beach faces south, so we get beautiful sky color but we can't see the point where the sun meets the horizon. Cloudless sky, liquid refreshment and a spectacular sun drop. Pura Vida!
Gorgeous!

I see you actually say facing west! Sometimes I have to work out which side of which island or place people are! This is perfect with the dark sea and the sun's rays being caught on the wet sand! fav
