A long exposure gives the ocean an ethereal feeling as the girl on the rock looks out at sunset on Playa Principal.

This was the calm before the storm. Just an hour or two later the sky opened up and the rains were released. I looked out the window and there was an old guy on the street lining up animals two by two!

This morning we went for a short walk and suddenly another deluge hit us. We ran to the first sheltered restaurant along Playa Principal and grabbed a seat to wait out the rain. They were busy digging trenches in the sand to help drain the rushing waters. Might as well get breakfast while we're here.

I love it! Especially the star effect your lens creates from the lights. Dreamy!

I would assume that with the continued occasional rains there, things remain fairly green there for this time of the year. Is this starting out as a typical December or this the result of the El Nino effect?

Yup, didn't think you'd know.

Thanks Rob. Using a smaller aperture will give you the star effect. I almost didn't post this image. It took a lot of work to get the look I wanted but in the end I'm happy with how it turned out.
