Mystery Stone Spheres of Costa Rica
SOLID: Big strong boulders come to mind when I ponder the best example for JAKE’S SUNDAY POST challenge. Pictured above is a large stone sphere located at the Best Western El Sitio in Liberia Costa Rica. Whenever I am there, I walk round and round the stone spheres and ponder. Some say that it’s all but impossible to sculpt a perfect orb from rock, but I retort by saying if that’s all I did for my entire life’s work, I think I could master it!
The Stone Sphere (above) and the massive tree trunk (below) illustrate strong, solid secure links to our natural world!
This lady’s posture reflects strength in body and in character while she gazes at the timeless strength of Volcano Conception on Isla Ometepe, Nicaragua. Even the angry waters of Lake Nicaragua seem fierce and strong, though perhaps not solid!
Youch! Anyone who has ever experienced the sting of a scorpion’s wrath will surely agree that it’s STRONG and leaves a solid connection! (How many of you have been stung by a scorpion?!!!)
Thanks, Jake, for the challenge!

Solid boulders are my answer to this challenge as well; there are plenty here in Oman. I love yours and your massive tree trunk. We supposedly have scorpions aplenty here too; I have yet to encounter one and I hope it stays that way!! 🙂
Ha! The little geckos are surely protecting you by eating the scorpions!!!! 🙂 Z
That must be it! Although your scorpion looks so big, it would surely eat my gecko!! 🙂
A magnificent boulder. Beautiful post!
The scorpion does make you think, “should I run?” Very artistic pieces!
Thanks! That was what greeted me when I stepped outside that bright-sunny morning! It didn’t look so artsy at that moment! Z
Great Solid Photography ,Thanks for sharing my friend 🙂
Thank you! It was a fun challenge! Z
Very creative interpretations Z! Love the one of that girl and the volcano.
Thanks! It’s so great to have these challenges so that those favorite photos have a brief moment in the spotlight.
That entire series of photos had a special mood, when the wind whipped those waves and pushed them above their ‘ordinary high water mark.’
I saw these at the museo in San Jose. They are amazing! And while my friends always shook out their shoes and clothing to find the hidden scorpions, I was blessed not to have found any, or to be stung!!! 😛

Muchas gracias! Isla Ometepe in Nicaragua always makes a stunning backdrop! Z
I would love to visit Nicaragua someday. Is it a safe place to travel alone as a female?
🙂 I’ve never had any problems in Nicaragua. If you ever decide to head that way, I’ll be glad to tell you about my favorite places! Z
