Fiery ending in Costa Rica. Barbara Hill of Anaheim took this picture of a sunset at the Casa Conde del Mar seaside resort in Guanacaste, during her February visit. "I looked out of the hotel window and saw, between the pool and the Pacific Ocean, what appeared to be trees on fire," Hill explains. "But it was the sunset at the end of another beautiful day on our eco-adventure tour." [Foto: Barbara Hill] |
