World Inspired Landscapes: Costa Rica, and Friends

 

Costa Rica is home to some of the greatest biodiversity on the planet, in a large part due to the efforts of the Government to preserve the nature. Almost clear-cut by the colonialists, the country has bounced back and is nowadays a major tourist attraction and haven for certain animals like the sloths, red frogs, and blue butterflies. As mentioned in the first post on Costa Rica, it has remarkable waterfalls and turquoise rivers owing to the unique mosses and intense light. I recomposed the initial scene of a waterfall and river to be framed by a lush jungle populated with creatures. Aside from being very slow, sloths are also known to have dense, matted hair that is rife with millions of insects. I guess when they need a snack they just have some ready to eat. Talk about convenience food!
