I chose 10 pictures and added description to the pictures.
Pictures captured on the Leica M6 TTL film camera and also
on the Yahica T4 Point and Shoot. Film is Kodak Tri-X 400
(Arista Premium 400)
The Capitol building was modeled after the one in Washington DC,
built in 1920s it was the seat of govt until the revolution in 1959,
where it now a academy of science, next to it is the national theater.
Cuba is in a strategic location. Historically colonized by
Spain, annexe by the US and fought briefly by the British.
As such, revolution and freedom has been a key part of Cuba.
The statue is of Jose Marti, dubbed the Apostle of Cuban
Independence.
Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Born in Argentina, died in Bolivia,
but central to the Cuban Revolution. Now the famous photo
by Alberto Korda adorns t-shirts, cups worldwide.
Here is one of the ministry building, I forget ministy of Comms
or Interior, with a huge "Che" picture.
Raul Castro has instituted many reforms
(including the recent private property land reform)
in Cuba since he took office from his brother Fidel in 2008.
