Costa Rica Is All About Nature Photo Gallery by Eldar Kadymov at pbase.com

Costa Rica Is All About Nature

This was the first time when I didn't want to use any camera during the trip, as I just wanted to relax and enjoy beauty of Costa Rica. Only the itching thought about missing some wonderful moments made me keep pushing the shutter. We went to Costa Rica on self-guided tour and it's definitely the best way to explore this wonderful country, though very challenging when it comes to driving especially in rural areas. Let me know if you want to get some travel tips and advise in case if you are interested in traveling to Costa Rica. I will be glad to help. Half of the images were taken by my lovely wife Vera, so if you liked the gallery, plese give her a credit ! Enjoy the ride and cheers !

To uninvited guest; I have no idea :-)

Hello. Please answer why when viewing your galleries I do not hear the melody that accompanies the photo

Betty Campbell		09-May-2011 13:58
For someone who didn't want to take pictures, you certainly got some great ones! We took a bus tour in Costa Rica in March and loved every minute of it (even though I don't usually care for bus tours).

Dan		17-Apr-2011 11:22
Nice gallery. v

Marc Demoulin		29-Aug-2010 15:26

I have to come back to this gallery to relax while tag along your beautiful tour. Vera, you deserved the whole credit of this gallery from me. Great photographer you are. I am sitting in front of my laptop and they won't let me vote twice. Well. VVVVV

Ann Cleeves		03-May-2008 22:24
I wanted to vote again.....particularly for the delightful butterfly cursor that has arrived...but it will not let me!

Tom Munson		25-Apr-2008 15:34
This is a terrific Gallery, Eldar and Vera. Your images are fantastic with wonderful commentary. My wife and I were there a few ago and enjoyed the people and the wildlife. Well done. V

an nguyen		22-Apr-2008 20:35
I really think this gallery should be on the fisrt place of Pbase, because they are so much fun to view. Instead of having must thought provoking gallery, why don't we just enjoy Life this way. Thanks Eldar for a refreshing tour. I will do it one day. VVVVV. Now I voted 5 times and don't care what they say.

missy_gardenwhimsy		27-Mar-2008 20:52
Excellent gallery, Eldar! Very beautiful photos! V

Reimar Gaertner		25-Mar-2008 01:39
Lovely gallery Eldar. I think you covered more ground then me in my 11 days there - you even got a clear shot of Poas. Well done.

Guest		03-Mar-2008 14:30
A great gallery to visit. You've provided a lot of insight as to the nature of Costa Rica. And it looks like you had a great vacation in the process. V

Jim Coffman		23-Feb-2008 03:32
Eldar, after viewing all the images in this gallery and commenting on a few of them, I must commend you on a wonderful group of images. I don't know how you can be so well versed on so much about the country and the wildlife but I'm glad you are. I really enjoyed this gallery.

Eldar Kadymov		22-Feb-2008 01:10
Hey, seniorita, number of cameras might not make any difference in presentation, but crowd of photographers might, LOL !

Adeline		21-Feb-2008 04:49
Eldar this gallery is truly magnificent. You got very close to your animal subjects and got them in very good settings. The color is all is very vivid. A great big vote. P.S. I did look at your gallery and comment : AHAHAHAHA........Dec 13. Your pics are certainly much better than mine-but I had only one photographer and not as many cameras--LOL

Steve Morris		13-Feb-2008 22:47
Amazing gallery full of very good photography. Lots of information and great entertainment!! Big vote!

Lampridis Dimitris		14-Jan-2008 15:55
Incredible gallery , Beautiful photos !!!!!!!!!! Congratulations *****

Guest		28-Dec-2007 19:44
Interesting and humourous travelogue. V

Cliff Smith		23-Dec-2007 22:33
Eldar, an excellent Gallery. Vote! My gallery of Costa Rica is very different, with a concentration on landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes. The next time I go, I may concentrate more on the wildlife. Your art motivates me in some new directions. It's interesting that Costa Rica has more bird species than all of the USA and Canada combined. Your vibrant colors and great compositions and especially your choice of subjects, makes your work a real standout.

Maxim Popykin		23-Dec-2007 21:00
wonderful travel photo story Eldar. Big vote

Ron Horloff		19-Dec-2007 00:24
You are certainly getting around, my friend. Another fascinating gallery. Ron

Guest		18-Dec-2007 10:21
Great stroll around Costa Rica. Splendid work Eldar

Jean D		18-Dec-2007 01:01
Excellent and varied collection on such a beautiful and yet relatively unknown part of ther world, Eldar!!

Zolt�n Balogh		17-Dec-2007 14:59
Vow Eldar, that is really something! Great work, big vote for this!

Michael Weinberg		14-Dec-2007 18:31
OK .... though I have not seen every photo in the gallery, yet. (in time I will indeed view them all)... I have certainly seen enough to declare it by far and away the great Costa Rican Gallery ever prouduced in the history of the Universe. Zy Gezundt, Michael.

Adeline		13-Dec-2007 19:41
What a diverse set of great pictures. It provides a good overview of what to expect on our trip to Costa Rica mid January, thank you. Hope my pictures will be half as good as yours.

nomada		13-Dec-2007 13:18
Excellent collection Eldar. V

Guest		12-Dec-2007 03:47

This looks like the start of another amazing and beautiful gallery...each one gets better! There is always so much informationto compliment the super images..with the usual sprinkling of zany humour. Enjoyed the ride in this wonderful place, so far.....hope it's a long journey!

Eldar Kadymov		07-Dec-2007 22:26
Amigo, I certainly will ! Not sure how you are going to survive in this country, it's just as expensive as Canada, this came to me as true shocker :-) ?!

Hodero		07-Dec-2007 21:35
So,now I'm sure you will want to visit me when I live in Costa Rica ! Hey,great start of a gallery amigo! V.

Tim van Woensel		07-Dec-2007 15:05
What a wonderful and colorful gallery of this country Eldar. You're right it's all about nature here!

Bill Warren		07-Dec-2007 15:04
Costa Rica is very high on our must see countries. Your pictures just make me want to go there all the more. V

marie-jose wolff		06-Dec-2007 21:40
beautiful gallery of a wonderful place, Eldar! your images are excellent, nicely composed and great colors! Vote!

Joel		06-Dec-2007 20:05
It sounds like Costa Rica hasn't changed much since I was there in 1992 - driving was certianly a challenge. This is an awsome start to what will become a great gallery. I'm glad you didn't leave the camera at home. Your wildlife shots are quite exceptional. ~vote

Michael Shpuntov		06-Dec-2007 19:06
I think it's shooting to the top already. Stunning colors. Great compositions. Fun in titles. Travel gallery in best standards. Vote.

Guest		06-Dec-2007 12:21
looks like the start of a wonderful gallery! v

flowsnow		06-Dec-2007 08:56
Fantastic.....I love that picture of the hungry squirel..........??? V

Michael Weinberg		06-Dec-2007 07:46
Looks like the beginning of what may enfold to become the greatest Costa Rican Gallery of all times, ever, in the universe... but only time and more photos will tell. It is cetainly within the realm of possibilities. After all, you did unseat Dante himself to become the creator of the greatest work of evil of all time... that may be a feat that can not be ever equaled again. Ciao, Michael.
