Ariel Gato Marinda is an artist in Cuba who paints on paper he manufacturers himself from discarded office paper. He makes his own dyes from local natural materials. I purchased a small silk screen he made of a Cuban Trogon, Cuban's national bird, and made a portrait of him in his modest but highly effective and productive studio. I did see a trogon in the wild, and his portrait is very representative of the bird. Las Terrazas, Cuba, March 2019

Trinidad is a UNESCO World Heritage site and we visited it a few years ago. It is quite poor but the people are very friendly.

A recent business trip to Cuba gave me the opportunity to witness the many ongoing changes since I first saw this country in 2009. Unchanged, however, are all the vintage cars, although there seem to more than ever of them.

For all practical purposes, the Keokuk F-Units might as well have been embargoed, as they cross through Cuba one final time on their way to westward towards La Harpe.
The slow track speed allowed me to get ahead of the train one more time. I opted for the final crossing in town, Highway 97/1st St., as it allowed me enough time to get ahead of the train with roughly a minute or two to spare. Behind me was the most interesting single-tower grain elevator I've ever seen. One guy (Chris Guss, I think) was flying a drone behind the elevator, and it turned out to be one of the best drone shots I've ever seen.

cuba. Cuban farm on the on the back road to Vinales. I was cycling in Cuba for 2 weeks. The afternoon cycling the back road to Vinales will live in my memory forever. It was scorching hot but fortunately the scenery was breathtaking and light good so I stopped to take photographs every few minutes. This scene is idyllic - thatched farm buildings, beautiful tree, cockerel, worker fixing up something and little girl sat on the floor drawing (I think). No doubt life there is much harder than my soft western office job - but a view like this I still envy.
The Palacio de las Ursulinas, constructed in the late 19th century, exhibits Moorish style architecture characterized by ornate facades and intricate detailing. Initially serving as a convent for the Ursuline nuns, it evolved into a center for education, culture, and diplomacy. Its history intertwines with Cuba's socio-political landscape, hosting notable figures like José Martà and becoming a symbol of the country's rich heritage.
Cuba can frustrate you one minute , and unexpectedly inspire you the next .
