Cuba Libre! | mikeosbornphoto

Cuba Libre!

Welcome to the biggest island in the Caribbean which boasts 11 million inhabitants.

Cuba still sits in the shadow of its socialist revolution led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara almost 60 years ago, with slogans and monuments everywhere.

It’s a country with two currencies, monthly rations and quaintly limited internet access.

But most photographers flock here for the vibrant colour palette, faded architecture and vintage cars crawling the streets. Havana and other urban centres had this in spades. Delicious and irresistible!

Perfect place for your camera and photo skills – of course you have captured the vibrant colours but especially some excellent framing. Quite a change too from Up North too!

  Thank you Laura, Cuba lived up to all the promise! Very different to here in the north. There are more posts to come from Fidel’s island…

I LOVE Cuba! The vibrancy, the lack of anything American (at least when I went a few years ago), the people. A gorgeous place brilliantly captured, Mike! :)
