Well the photos are nice, and a fine example of the capabilities of the Canon G15.

However, they also show Cuba (Havana) for what it is: a Third World country with the typical 3rd world look; shabby, dingy and 50 year-old cars, and people looking like they barely exist.

I was last in Havana in 1957/58. Fulgencio Batista was in charge then (admittedly a crook and a a**ho*e and Mafia connected!) and Cuba had many, many problems then.....but!.... It was a vibrant, colorful and great city to visit for night-life and just plain fun.

Now? It's a "down-in-the-mouth" city with no semblance to its formal self.

The wonders of Castro and communism.

One can hope that some day the people of Cuba will escape from beneath the boot of that repressive totalitarian regime.
