The Rio Celeste in Costa Rica's Tenorio Volcano National Park is one of my favorite destinations in the country for landscape photography. Nonetheless, one of my favorite images from the area is this simple composition of a rock, a shrub sapling, and the otherworldly blue water of the river, which results from suspended silica colloids, probably of volcanic origin. A slow shutter speed and polarizing filter helped to accentuate the flowing blue water, a nice contrast with the stationary rock
