The following is the actual driving route I took while in Costa Rica, this is the exact GPS tracked route I took through the country while on vacation. If you have Google Earth click on the image below to load up the GPS route I took while doing a circle tour of Costa Rica. The GPS coordinates were tracked by a device called a Data Logger, the small device I used to track it was the Columbus V-900 Bluetooth GPS Data Logger which sells for $99 on Amazon.com. There was a few small gaps in a few places because I forgot to turn the device back on but for the most part you can see the route I took. This route took me through La Fortuna / Arenal volcano area, Poas Volcano, cut through San Jose, Cartago/Orosi valley area, Manuel Antonio, Monteverde cloud forest and Tamarindo/Playa Grande before finally making our way back to the airport in Liberia, Costa Rica.

Here are some new pictures from my two week vacation tour of Costa Rica in November 2009. We rented an SUV and did a circle of the country stopping for a few nights each in La Fortuna / Arenal volcano area, Poas Volcano, Cartago/Orosi valley area, Manuel Antonio, Monteverde cloud forest and finally ending it off at the beach for a few days in Playa Grande which is just north of Tamarindo beach. Here is a small sampling of some of the pictures I took while down there, in total I took over 2000 photos but still sorting through many of them. Photos were taken with my Olympus E-620 DSLR camera and I used a wide variety of different lenses. Click here to view my Costa Rica 2009 gallery.

I will be traveling down to Costa Rica again in November for two weeks, the above Google Map is the rough route I will be taking across the country visiting the Arenal volcano area, Poas Volcano, Cartago/Orosi valley area, Manuel Antonio, Monteverde cloud forest area and finally end it off at the beach in Playa Grande. We will have a rental SUV and will be road tripping staying a few days at each location. We should be able to see a lot more this time of Costa Rica and I have much better camera gear this time for photos.

I was at the NIN/Janes Addiction concert this past Tuesday, they performed live at the Molson Amphitheatre here in Toronto and I had 5th row center tickets and had a pretty good view for show. I ended up taking a number of photos and was suprised how well they came out, click here to view my concert photo album. I also uploaded two videos for March of the Pigs and The Hand That Feeds at Youtube.

I figured it was that time again, to re-do my personal website zerokarma.com. The last version was getting dated and wasn’t that easy to update or customize new features. The new website, now the fourth version is based on Wordpress and heavily customized.

The Photo Album has also been upgraded, moving from Coppermine to the NextGen Gallery plugin for Wordpress. Its now a lot easier for me to add new galleries and update information in them. Over the next while I’ll be testing and adding some more features to the website.

I have started a new website/blog for my photography called “Inside Caledon“, which obviously will mainly be focused on the Caledon, Ontario area. I will be posting images of wildlife as well as scenery from the area. I will also be posting local news and information about the area. The idea for the site is mainly to force me to keep trying new things with my new DSLR and to improve my photography over time.
