How did you get there. I thought the US wasn't allowing us to go to Cuba at the moment.

True, this was taken about 2 years ago before the current restrictions.

Adding a BW conversion. I think the age of the buildings and grittiness of the city lend itself to this treatment.

Nice--I like both this one and the conversion.

I like them both, but give the nod to the mono. Wonder how it would look in sepia? Cuba has been on my bucket list for years, then I missed the narrow window. Glad you didn’t!

Does look gritty even from up high.

I agree .... the color image was gritty and rundown looking and the B&W cleaned it up and gave it more respect visually.

That's incorrect. I'm going to Cuba in about a week on a photography tour.

Too bad you live so far from either Canada or Mexico. Some American travelers have long illegally traveled to Cuba by way of Mexico and Canada. Because there are no restrictions from the Mexican or Canadian governments regarding travel to the island, Americans can fly in and out of Havana from either destination without an approved reason. Even though my wife and I live in smaller city in Northern Canada we still have a direct flight to Cuba during the winter season. Never have tried it as I DONT fly. 🥴
