Simon Bolívar and sunflowers

 

 Simon Bolívar. One of the poorest “barrios” of Santo Domingo named after the liberation hero. Conditions are worse than bad.

The president’s wife is leading a project in the slum area. The most visible change has been paintings of sunflowers on the walls of some houses!

Kraftwerk WOW!

  Waiting for the band Kraftwerks concert with 3D effects at the WOW music festival in Gothenburg a few weeks ago.

El amor siempre presente..

En las calles de Santiago!  That is.. love is always around in the streets of Santiago…. and other Cuban places!

One of the reasons that makes it funnier to spend time in that island.

Lady in red 2

  Which way to go? Gloria standing at the crossroads of Cuatro Caminos in Viñales, Cuba. The characteristic Mogotes mountains frames the background.

Take also a look at Lady in red.

Whale shark habitat!

 

 

 The season for watching Whale Sharks in the Seychelles is from August to the end of October with some variations..  If you go another period of the year there are other interesting stuff to see as well. I promise!

With a Billy Graham hairdo..

 

 and swinging the holy book in a dramatic fashion this street preacher tried to fire up the visitors at the commercial center “Nordstan” in Gothenburg yesterday!

His assistant was sitting quietly in the background with a sign “Jesus is alive”

Despite that the Billy look-alike refered to the tsunami in Japan, earthquakes and other plagues and somehow connected this as consequences of the lack of belief, he did not succeed to create a mass salvation amongst the busy shoppers!
