The national state television reports about Cuba’s latest revolutionary achievements and… the chaos, hunger and terror that reigns in most of the outer world.   Viñales/Cuba. December 12. 2007.

Perhaps my most frequent theme is pictures from Cuba, a country in which I have travel around six times.

A simple day-to-day struggle, working their own small plantation. Not many material belongings.. they have each other.

When I go to Cuba I always find an excuse to visit the Viñales valley.  The bird flying in the center is a “tiñosa” (buzzard).
