Unlike in other communist or ex-communist countries, Cuban street art is rather exuberant.

Such an interesting country. One like no other in Latin America for obvious reasons. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Kinda sad the condition of the buildings. I wonder how long that ruble has been in the street and how long it will be or if it will ever be removed?

The pictures are great. I see you only went to the nice areas. People there live with great poverty.

True. This series was about the art scattered all over the island and mostly in the historic center of Havana where massive restoration took place during the past decade.

I'll come back here with another series showing some of the reality of the Cubans.

Cuba is a unique place to capture those idyllic "rundown" photos so hard to find in the better developed world. Nice post.
