Havana

Some images of the city including several of the residences in which I lived back in the '30s and '40s.
Havana is a city of light and shadow, a timeless dreamscape of art and history. To walk the labyrinth of streets that etch their way through Havana's many districts, past the faded splendour of vice-regal palaces and old-world cathedrals that embrace the city's urban neighbourhoods, is to encounter the vast sweep of events that define Cuban history. Conquest and revolution are the twin flowers of Cuban art and culture.
