Havana (Malecon district)
Trinidad
In Trinidad and elsewhere old fashioned  colorful silhuettes and weatherworn walls on the background,compose images of a unique visual  attraction,.."the charm of decay" is out there...

Havana (first parallel road to Malecon Boulevard)
breaking down at aTrinidad road...common scene as anywhere else in Cuba where a great deal of the cars are big american models from the 50es that just owe their current rolling on capacity to self made Cuban "spare parts" and ....tricks;naturaly even a short drive is not guaranteed to it's end...while  an achieved long  one should be estimated as a rather... lucky one..
...in some way this stopped by cyclist could represent a kind of ...road assistance  in terms of ...technical advise support...
...ordinary public transports at Cienfuegos  ...Boulevard that happens to be the longest  one in the South
lonely cyclists in front of Jose Marti's statue at Revolutionary Square,which though the biggest in Havana,is usually,apart from sporadic foreign visitors,clear from crowd and traffic except of major importance occasions like national anniversaries and Castro's addresses  to public when  thousands of Cubans jam the area.Here also is where in front of applauding Castro, Pope J.Paul II ...blessed the crowds  during the first ever Pope's visit in Cuba on Jan 99;since then Catholicism is again allowable by the regime
Police motocyclist in the roads ofTrinidad.The presence of cobs (thanks to regime's needs for monitoring and controlling it's own citizens)is obvious everywhere and one can feel pretty safe in the friendly atmosphere of most places...
...not a passed by scene from Far West  but from Trinidad today...
balcony in Havana
...for Cubans time is,apart from ...no money,..endless as well...
cinema in Havana

motto against the war in Iraq on a  wall downtown Havana,...incidentally the ruined building on the background  reflects a relatively depressive scenery of devastation...

resting in the shade somewhere in Havana
...public transport stop point on main road outside Havana...this is how Cubans do not wait but actually ...hope to catch any kind of vehicle that would happen to go their way...in other cases even the shade from a roof made of banana plant leaves as on this snap, is not available and,poor them,have to wait under the burning sun for ages ...as it is never sure that  the expected bus,truck,or even cart,will arrive on...day...
near Cienfuegos,protected natural ecosystem of small lakes and canals where endagered species of flora and fauna are reproduced (small eagles can be noticed everywhere while crocodiles are kept inside a farm).Top left of the photo, a termite nest  built atop of a dead tree trunk
