This sun-splashed tranquil scene reaches back into time – both the small home and 1956 Chevrolet parked before it date back to the middle of the last century. It seems as if nothing has changed here since then. Yet change may well be in the offing. This tranquility seems threatened by the huge rain cloud that surges toward us. I see the image as a metaphor for what may be in store for Cuba itself if and when its people should eventually decide to follow the example of its former partner, the Soviet Union, in overthrowing Communist rule.
