Just a couple of photos from a recent Bingo event I photographed

One of the prizes was an Outback gift certificate, hence the Outback envelope

The family from my mom’s side has lived in farms near the Poas volcano during their earlier years, once they started to make families of their own they started moving away from that area and into the larger cities, like Alajuela and San Jose, but not all of the family moved away from there.

One of my uncles has a smaller farm in that area and it’s now owned and maintained by his son

The above photo is of my cousin in his strawberry farm. The strawberries here are very sweet and delicious

It has been several years since I was last here and I took the chance to take a couple of photos of the place

Even the leaves of these strawberry plants look great. This next photo is from the irrigation system they have

They use these bins to pick up the strawberries

There were a couple of bad strawberries in that table

Went to visit family that lives near the Poas volcano and they have a couple of cats around so I took the change to take a couple of photos of them, I can’t remember their names though…

Quite difficult to actually catch them since it was the first time I was there so they didn’t know me.

The above photo is one of the two that have been taken through some post processing, the others are pretty much SOOC as only some minor degree of color correction was done.

Like the one above, that’s SOOC. This next photo was taken from the same spot as the one above

More photos from this visit will be posted later

As some astronomers would say, they look like novas but in fact they aren’t. These are the photos that I took during New Year’s, around midnight, from my apartment overlooking San Jose.

As you can see in the photo above, these are the fireworks that could be seen over San Jose.

These are not shooting stars, the neighbors were also having their own display of fireworks and this is the aftermath of one of those. The following photos are from the fireworks display that was taking place near my apartment

All of these shots were taken with a 30 second exposure using ISO 100.
