Snowy forest 1980 in Umeå!

  Not a white Christmas this year in the southern half of Sweden. 1980 though, I was in Umeå  in the north, visiting my parents.  We took a skiing tour with my father.

350 Fifth Avenue and 34th Street!

  1981. The combination Swedish trigger-happy tourist (that would be me) and a fragment of a second at the hundred and second flor of  Empire state building resulted in this mirror reflection.
I still don´t know what´s happening in that scene.. are they about to kiss.. are they quarreling or what??

Centro Habana

The author Pedro Juan Gutiérrez  looking out from his apartment over Centro Habana. The story in his book Dirty Havana trilogy, takes place around this very building and the surrounding quarters of the city.
