Meeting Fires Creative

Just one of the random scenes you often come across in Cuba. This is close to the edge of Habana Vieja, walking towards the Centro area. Havana is, of course, a coastal city but once inside the narrow streets the ocean can feel miles away. Until you cross paths with a man carrying a freshly caught fish from the sea. Then it hits you again; the city sprawls right to the edge of the rich waters of the Caribbean, teeming with marine life. I really like the shadow play in this shot, and the sense of mid-day heat. I bet it was a great feast for a good many that night.
