A quiet day for putting the washing out to dry, but it’s great to see Havana’s talent in displaying decay and revival, close to each other and in such an appealing way.
Overlooking Parque Francisco de Albear y Lara, Havana, Cuba, November 2016
In front of us, in the image above, we have some residential property in need of care, to the left is a Kempinski hotel, and behind us stands the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and El Floridita, one of the regular haunts of Ernest Hemingway.

Ah, Floridita….I went there, think I’ve got an image of the interior with a load of Hemingway stuff, somewhere

I didn’t get inside. It was closed during the Castro mourning period.

It’s Francisco de Albear y Lara, an engineer. Best known for bringing water into Havana via an aqueduct, now known as the Acueducto de Albear
