Being two days away from my upcoming island vacation it’s easy to guess why I chose this picture. Clear blue water, soft sandy shore and shoes off to explore make this photo taken at Costa Rica’s Cahuita National Park a real prize. Uploaded into the Gadling Flickr pool by Philip Peter, his notes indicate it was summer 2004 and that he used a compact analog Minolta, negative film and manually scanned. End result equals a pretty nice shot.
