Travel And Photography

Product Description

On assignment in Havana, Cuba, I heard music. It was across the street & far away. I couldn'ttrack down the source. As I got closer, the echo was bouncing off the tall buildings. It wasamazing. Running back & forth I eventually got someone's attention. He led me on a dead run intoone of Old Havana's famous condemned historical landmarks. I thought it was abandoned. Upon enteringthe lobby, I found it totally dark in the middle of the day. No light at all. My 'guide' ran up thestairs with me in close pursuit. The circular staircase wound round & round. But soon I hitsomething. Hard. Since it was so black I had no idea the staircase was full of people. I couldn'tsee a thing. I panicked. But I always carry a small flashlight on my key chain. I was able tostumble safely the several flights up to the band rehearsing on the top floor. Great photographs'.
