Pic 4, that sculpture on the side of the building; wonderful.

Nice social commentary too, androiduk. Everyone looks happy and healthy, if poor. I understand Cuban dentists are the worlds best.
 
^ I can only imagine what's inside some of these buildings. Generally speaking, I don't think Cubans have the same concept as us of what's collectable and desirable and valuable. The whole country is awash in antique furniture, sculptures, art and architectural odds and ends. When and if the export restrictions are lifted there will be a tsunami of collectors and dealers descending on the country. I managed to get out some old movie posters and lobby cards hidden in books but anything else would be extremely difficult.
 
Again good Havana pics!

Android: Again good pics of Havana! I like that HOTEL NEW YORK myself.
I like the pic of all the old cars outside a park.
Are many of the newer cars from Communist-bloc makers and have you noticed any certain car makes there you will probably not see elsewhere?

Thanks for your comments LI MIKE. About 10% of the cars are vintage American, 40% are Lada's and the rest are mixed but mostly from Asia. I didn't see any vehicles that were unique to Cuba.
