In Cuba car ownership is not very common. For those who do own a car, it is almost always used for a purpose, other than just recreation. Cars are usually used as official, semi-official or non-official taxis, to help recover the cost of ownership.
Cuban men are very talented and resourceful around mechanical equipment, skills learned out of necessity from their fathers and uncles!
In this photo are a well used Opel, Chevrolet and Lada!
This was taken in the small town of Guardalavaca in eastern Cuba. To the right is a regional elementary school, and in the background are a general store, a restaurant, a bar and a mall that has about eight shops.
Behind me are two nice snack bars/restaurants that serve quality foods.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)

À Cuba, la voiture n'est pas très répandue. Pour ceux qui possèdent une voiture, celle-ci est presque toujours utilisée à des fins autres que les loisirs. Les voitures sont généralement utilisées comme taxis officiels, semi-officiels ou non-officiels, pour aider à recouvrer le coût de possession.
Les hommes cubains sont très talentueux et débrouillards en ce qui concerne l'équipement mécanique, compétences acquises par nécessité de leurs pères et de leurs oncles!
Sur cette photo sont bien utilisés Opel, Chevrolet et Lada!

The Cuban hutia, also known as Desmarest's hutia, is a rodent endemic to Cuba (surprise !). It is quite large for a rodent with a body length of about 31-60 cm (12–24 in).
This is a photo from my last visit to our local zoo. It was taken through glass.
Taken on my last visit to Havana, Cuba. A statue near the city centre.
The most popular months to visit Cuba are March, January, and February. The rainy season is much less popular since it's wetter, hotter, and more humid. This visit was in June but taking pictures in these conditions often make much more fun and interesting images.

This Cuban Parakeet, Psittacara euops, was in a flock feeding in the canopy of some low trees with lance shaped yellow or green leaves where they blended in well. The parakeets are Cuban endemics considered endangered due to habitat loss and the pet trade, but they are fairly common in a few areas including the Zapata Swamp region where we saw them.
