Cuba: Day 11

17 February 2007

Urban sketching in Cuba.


Havana

Grand colonial buildings, once brightly painted, line the streets of Havana. Almost every building in the city is over a hundred years old, and most of them have not been painted or repaired in the last fifty years. This picture doesn’t show the frightening state of decay.

Havana: La Floridita
