Took Me Away











These images of Cuba are stunning, and speak volumes. I love the way some photography transports you to a place, and these took me away instantly.

    These are so intriguing, I clicked for a bigger image on some as there is quite a bit in them.

    Cuba and especially Havana is stunning, howver falling to bits. Luckily they have started some restauration projects in Havana. One can only imagine what it used to be like. We were there at Christmas time and it was wondereful. The architecture is wonderful right through to some modernist hotels etc built in the 50's

    The eclectic grace with a touch of the ramshackle is perfect.

    Jules this is amazing, sweetie! I've always dreamed of going to Cuba. I have a friend who's from there and I always love to hear her stories.

    And how wonderful that you used to work in the wine industry. My father does as well. His good friend owns a vineyard in NZ and he's always traveling back and forth to help with the vineyard. He also travels all over the world with him to distribute his wine.

    Hope you're having a lovely week, honey! xoxo

    I so agree with you - I love how photography can transport you or even just make you daydream. These photos are just lovely - laid back and just cool.
