"Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica" and her "Volcanic Eruptions"

Living with a Volcano View allows for the ever changing "Shades of Green" and the Colors reflected on the "Volcano" by the "Clouds and Sun".

Since retirement I left the "United States" and hot and humid "Florida" and found myself in a Rustic Cabin 6 months old when I bought it furnished for 105K 2 years ago. I have a Volcano View, 10 minutes from the Top "Tourist Destination" in Costa Rica.

With Rainforests and the Volcano and the perfect climate mid 80's as the high with no Humidity, and mid 70's at night, I have found Paradise.

I now Paint as a Hobby and Photograph Wildlife, Jungle, Rainforest, Landscapes.

Costa Rica well known for it's Wildlife, Volcanoes, and Beautiful Beaches. This small Country is one of the "Top Tourist" destinations in the World.  Since Retirement in the United States, I settled into a 6 month old, Log Chalet fully furnished at the Base of "Arenal Volcano".

Lucky enough to have escaped the "Real Estate" crash in the "United States", for my wife was a Realtor and I a retired Doctor. We left a Historic Home in a Small Riverside enclave in Cocoa, Florida.

Well we found, a great neighborhood, and a Home with nothing between us and the Volcano but the Rainforest. I thought I would share with those who have never been on "vacation" to "Costa Rica" the wonders found inside this "Protected Land".

"Rainforest Landscapes"

"Volcanic Boulders"

"Arenal Volcano & Moon"

Rainforest Landscapes seem to me to be an unexploited subject. Perhaps, it is my perspective, since I live just 100 Meters from a Tropical Stream flowing through a Forested Ravine. This Rainforest Stream is formed by the "Arenal Volcano" in Costa Rica. 

Heavy Rainforest Foliage

"Broad Billed MotMot"

A ten minute Walk and scramble down the slope, the Path slippery wiht damp leaves, opens at Rivers Edge, inot a Primordial World.  All of my senses are overwhelmed  by the smell of Humus, green vegetation, Jungle Flowers, along with the Buzz of Ciciadas and endless Tropical Birds.   Very Rare and Endangered Species, can be found in Tree Tops and long the River Banks. The Dappled Light filtering through the Palms, filled with Bromedliads and Orchids overwhelms your senses, and is so Inspiring to know that some Parts of Nature are still Untouched.   How can anyone put a value on "Endangered Species and Rainforests".
I have placed a Value on it to," Protect the Rainforests and the Wildlife" within.

"Waterfall Landscape"

The banks of The Volcano River are full of "Huge Basaltic Boulders" from a Volcano Eruption in 1968.
