“Costa Rica Living”
“This is a photo taken on a small side of the mountain road of Monte Verde, Costa Rica. The sun was setting soon, and we got to take a break after 3 hours on the bus. The clouds looked close enough to touch; it was absolutely breathtaking. The pure green and clear blue were beautifully mixed with the white fluffy clouds.” -Cesia

“Right on Time”
“This was my first time seeing the tower. It was still under construction, but I got to enjoy the view with my friends. It was an insanely busy street, but I was able to catch a moment with a few people, and I loved the way the photo came out. Every time I see it, I want to go back.” -Evelyn
