EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Costa Rica's lush natural beauty. In this image, an adult male common basilisk gracefully perches on a log, basking in the warm sunlight next to a tranquil stream in Caletas. The vibrant colors of the surroundings bring out the striking hues of this reptile's scaly skin. Located in Central America, Costa Rica is renowned for its incredible biodiversity and stunning landscapes. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the country's rich wildlife and pristine forests. With its selective focus on the foreground, every detail of this magnificent creature is highlighted with precision. The common basilisk, also known as "Jesus Christ lizard" due to its ability to run across water surfaces, stands tall and proud against a backdrop of towering trees. Its side view showcases its strong physique and intricate patterns that blend seamlessly with nature. As you gaze at this image, you can almost feel yourself immersed in the untamed wilderness of Caletas. It serves as a reminder that there are still untouched corners of our planet where animals roam freely without human interference. Michael S. Nolan has masterfully captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the fragility of our natural world. This print is an invitation to explore Costa Rica's enchanting landscapes and discover firsthand why it remains one of Earth's most sought-after travel destinations for nature enthusiasts worldwide.
