i don't get why people want to depict the worst things about cuba on pictures. Perhaps they don't have beautiful houses, computers or any other cool stuff, but at least they don't have to worry about what they are going to eat tomorrow, or if they get sick what will happen. To me, that's more important than any other stupid stuff.

U missed the point! This photos are photos of beautiful houses (oldtimers) for me. I relay liked it. I don't have any bad idea about Cuba, I would like to visit it some time. Let say that my country is in the similar situation ;) I live in Serbia...

Dear Anonymous,
You are right, you don't get it. These pictures show what Cuba once was and what it is today. Those houses were beautiful and still have beauty but have been so neglected. As for the people not worrying about what they are going to eat, you need to get your facts straight. I am the daughter of Cuban immigrants and I know the truth. People in Cuba have to worry about food, about healthcare, about hope. I have relatives in Cuba still and I hear the truth. You can't believe the propaganda that comes out of Cuba and you really should believe Michael Moore.

Beautiful pictures!!!

Thank you for posting them...

In fact, in Cuba, it is very difficult to get materials to mantain not only those houses, but everything. People have to worry about food and work everyday.

Congratulations again for the beautiful pictures!
