I just returned from Cuba: a nation in transition. I'll leave my deeper thoughts for a next post, but right now I just want to share a few photos that are in my mind typical for Cuba. The colours of her streets.

| Typical art deco building in Havana's Vedado |
In Havana you can easily distinguish in which area you are, by looking in at the buildings. Vedado was built in the first halve of the 20th century: Think roaring twenties, art deco in pastel.

| Wandering in the streets of Havana Vieja |
Havana Vieja is, at the name says, the old part of the city. Though nowadays you can argue about the 'old': This area is tourist town, and heavily renovated. But very respectfully renovated I must add.

| Walking in Trinidad |
Trinidad was built during the sugar boom in the 19th century. Colonial style buildings, super high ceilings, wrought iron lattices, and cobbled streets.
 |
| Camaguey |
CamagΓΌey is one of the very few cities in Cuba that isn't built in a grid like street pattern. Because it was raided several times by pirates it was actually designed as a maze.
