Pictures from the Streets of Havana

Nice pictures. Lot's of different opinions in the comments section below. Wouldn't go very well if that discussion was here. :laugh:
 
Very cool pictures. Thanks for sharing. I think that is a place that would be cool for everyone to visit one day.
 
For a different perspective:

sorry for the poor layout and having to click all the different links
 
Great thread, and some pictures that stir the heart and senses.

I like the fact that the same person (Robbie) posted pictures from both perspectives. Having been to Cuba numerous times I've seen both the beauty and the squalor depicted above. But on the other hand, we've seen the same in North America, haven't we? One of the main differences is in my opinion, Cubans are prouder of what they have and have a better sense of family than the average North American

How many here have spent any time reading the comments below in the first link? Especially post # 5.

I've said it before and will say it again, how many people condemn Castro (and maybe rightly so) but Batista, who was as bad or worse, was a "Friend" of the US and was supported?? Read a little history and see how corrupt in the middle to late 50s with the influx of US money. Who / what will prevent that again?

On the other hand, read post # 91. There is a real synopsis of how life really is. He might not even be Cuban, I dunno, but I know for a fact from my visits there and the friends I've made that at least most of what he says is true. "They smile, but they're not happy." Probably very true, but sure as there's shit in a dead cat, they're a very proud people, and I have a hell of a lot of respect for that.
 
Wow those are wonderfull! Thank you so much for those pictures.... hope to visit there soon. :)
 
Nice pics thanks for the link :thumbs: :cool:
 
Thanks for the pictures!!! The place and people are stunningly beautiful! I have always wanted to visit Cuba and these photos served to amplify that desire.
