Havana

Photographer's Note

….
for old car aficionados Cuba is a live museum.
People is trying with success to maintain the cars in the same condition, or better than that of the first decades of 20th century.

It seems we are in a real movie travelling on Cuban roads and streets.

Even for a not old car specialist the spectacle of these old fantastic machines is really impressive...

p.s.

2 taxi cars in front of the mythic Hotel Nacional de Cuba..
This is a repost. In the original photo the first car is to much shadowed... in such a way that I bet in the second one...

I was just in Cuba too, and I got a big kick out of all the old cars. It's almost like a game, trying to remember all the names and years (back then they changed the model's appearance every year!). Thanks for sharing this!

Hi Rui,
Very well kept classic car. Good off-center composition. Wide 'smile' shows well on this angle. Good direction of light and the yellow line adds colour.

I've never been to Cuba, but that's how I suppose it looks like. Great atmosphere composition, with a good pov for that kind of subject. Well done.

Ótima tomada, Rui, mostrando as cores - antigas!!! - de Havana! O ângulo da foto é muito bom e dá a impressão de que o homem está cuidando do carro... Aliás, é impressionante como conseguem manter em forma esses veículos! Bom trabalho! Abraço! Miguel.
