A wonderful capture .... what a happy bunch - full of life and unspoilt .... your words are so true and make one think (I only have to look at my own grandchildren).
Lovely work, Dirk !!!
wish you a good weekend,
Adele
That is the same impression I've had too.
Generally, the Cubans seem to be
fun-loving people.
These kids have not yet the "typical" Santiago de Cuba thick legs (from many urban hill-up, hill-down climbing).
Best wishes - A.
PS: Only two iron rods as a picture frame shows the material poverty in this beautiful country.
Under socialism, the USSR was more happy children (such as in Cuba and now) than at present in the former Soviet republics (Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, etc.) ...
happy to be together and happy to be together in your shot! a great "timeless" impression of cuban life once again! love how the warm colors and "warm" textures of the wood are corresponding with the warm smiles, and how the blue flip flops in the darkness of the room appear to be the only "cool" thing! ; ) greetings, sabine.
