[mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-february-19th-2020](mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-february-19th-2020) [Book](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/section/booking) Yesterday there were a few clouds drifting across the sun right around sunset. The result was a bit more interplay of shadow and sunlight throughout town, one which accented some of town’s more hidden spaces.  The concept of “hidden” is explored often in architecture and design, and in town partially hidden towns, streets, and plazas make a walk around town more interesting. When perceiving a piece of a whole, the brain is naturally motivated to want to explore, and this technique is used to make town’s spaces feel more desirable and interesting. When you catch a glimpse of Plaza Escondida through the trees, around the corner, or through the bushes, it feels rewarding to arrive there.  Yesterday’s in-and-out shadows only added to that feeling. When the light suddenly catches a fountain or a walkway is briefly dark, it makes these spaces even more naturally desirable to visit.  ## See related posts ## [Sunday, August 11th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [In this Daily: Día de la Madre (Costa Rican Mother’s Day) and the Week Ahead](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) ## [Monday, November 18th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [In this Daily: The Pura Vida Ride Paddle Battle and the Intrepid Challenge](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) ## [Wednesday, August 28th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [In this Daily: A Look at the National Parks of Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) ## [Monday, September 23rd, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [In this Daily: The Monkeys of Guanacaste](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) #### Subscribe to The Blog, The Daily, The Newsletter, and more Additionally you will receive our occasional newsletter.
