Orosi Valley morning
It has been more than 4 years since I made a visit to the tropical country of Costa Rica. And while memories of the actual events have faded away, the beauty and splendor of that place is still as strong and as fresh as ever. I still remember a gem of a village called Orosi, set within valleys formed of meandering rivers, the thick forested slopes of the Andes, and surrounded by volcanic peaks reaching for the sky. The vibrant orange bloom of the poro trees dotted the late-summer forest all over.
I fell in love with the place and while it was sad to be leaving it so soon, it did give us a parting gift: a view of the entire valley that this beautiful pastoral village was nestled in. Every part of me wanted to spend an eternity in this place, exploring its every nook and cranny, visiting every stream and mountaintop, photographing every sunset and sunrise, but I had to get back to reality of earning for a living.
