Gallery: three times the fun in Costa Rica

March 11, 2022 / 34 Comments

Once you recognise that groups of three are visually among the most interesting photographic subjects you can find, you start to look for them everywhere. But they aren’t always easy to find.

Having participated a couple of times in Mama Cormier’s Thursday Trios I was keen to join in again. So on our recent trip to Costa Rica I kept my eyes open for possible threesomes. Here the ones I spotted.

Three small boats moored by a grassy bank

Three boats on Lake Arenal, waiting to transport tourists en route to Monteverde to the far side of the lake
