The View of Havana from El Morro Fortress

El Morro Fortress: Its construction started in 1763, after the taking of Havana by the British, because of the need to complete the defensive system of the northern part of the city in those strategic points that lacked of forts. It is an example of the military architecture of the 18th century for the achievements in weapon techniques of such times and variety of architectonical and special components are combined. The fortress was impressive enough to dissuade the enemies of the Spanish Crown from attacking it.

Havana is the largest city in Cuba and the country's capital...
Cuba is a country in the Caribbean Sea. The country is made up of one big island and many smaller islands. Very nice tourist destination...

The recorded history of Cuba began on October 12, 1492, when Christopher Columbus sighted the island during his first voyage of discovery and claimed it for Spain. Columbus named the island Isla Juana in reference to Prince Juan, the heir apparent.

Thanks to have a look, George

A real postcard effect to illustrate the beauty of Havana.

Merhaba dear George...
Very beautiful composition. Light, sharp, colours and framing are perfect.
Best wishes,

Hi George,

I don't see too many photos of Cuba. I like this one. I like how you have separated the two elements in the same photo. Both the foreground and background would make nice photos on their own, but I like them together. Interesting showing the modern and old at the same scene.

thanks for sharing, Lisa

H George

Apart from the great framing what I really like is how you have managed to calibrate the fg with bg as far as the sharpness and contrasts are concerned creating a terrific image. Compliments!
