Illya Kagan in Costa Rica

I scrambled up the steep hill that divides Playa Guiones from Playa Pelada [located in Nosara, Costa Rica]. Had to go hands and feet as it was so steep… Almost turned around after sliding out twice, but was rewarded with this incredible view over both Pelada and Guiones. At low tide the pale blue green water coming in over the rocks along with the sea spray make a great forground contrast of light and dark. Wanted also to get the sense of height… I am standing, balanced between the cliff in front and the steep hill behind with only just enough space to prop the easle behind. Totally inspiring!
