The Old Havana district on a Friday night
Captured during a tranquil night in Old Havana, this scene pulses with the understated life unique to Cuba. The photo centers on a pristine, white classic taxi, its form stark against the cobblestone streets—still shiny under the streetlights. In the background, a lively vibe emanates from a group of girls standing outside a nightclub, their laughter almost audible through the photograph’s stillness.
Around this vignette of Cuban nightlife, the architecture speaks volumes of the city’s history. The classic buildings, with their colonial facades and timeworn charm, dominate the composition, telling tales of times past yet beautifully preserved. As I walked through these streets, camera in hand, I was struck by how these structures stood proudly, a testament to architectural resilience and beauty.
This street photograph is not just an image; it’s an invitation to wander through the historic district of Havana at night, to feel the cool air, and to hear the distant sounds of music and joy. It’s a glimpse into a culture rich with history, captured during a moment of quiet normality that makes Havana both relatable and enchantingly Caribbean.
