Hello... I'm back here. 😃
In my last post I told you part of what happened on a bike ride (destination unknown) that brought a lot of joy into my life.
Well, in this photo you see below we have the first mishap. My partner got a flat tyre.
Luckily we found, not so far from where the puncture occurred, a place for him to solve his problem. I had two or three cold patches in my cycling emergency bag, but we decided to go there because there was still some way to go and no one else had these little things... we had to be prepared in case we found ourselves in a similar situation in the middle of nowhere.
So this circumstance made me use my camera... what could be interesting about this that seemed to have once had... I don't know, a sign?
Apparently so. And when you stop looking up, you see a disused petrol pump.
What a thing, isn't it? Just out of nowhere, behind the petrol pump, someone who also had a puncture appears. And the story tells itself.
The best thing about Sundays for cycling is that traffic is reduced. I would say, maybe, drastically and add to this that fuel is scarce. That woman was waiting for a bus. What I thought was that it looked very desolate there and I felt sorry for her, who knows how long she had been waiting and how much longer she had to wait.
Scenes from a Sunday that could have been fun, tiring, or just another day in the calendar, one of those that run over us and that we can't even remember afterwards.
But now looking at the time of each photo, I am very surprised.
The first photo in this post was taken at 3:51 pm, and it only took this guy less than 8 minutes to repair the puncture, because I took these before we left there, and it was 3:59.
I asked him to let me photograph him and he gladly agreed.
We were near Zanja Street in Centro Habana, cycled a bit more and passed under the gate of Chinatown, something I always like to photograph. I could have asked my friend to wait two minutes for me to do so; however, I also thought that I had already had a few minutes to capture some scenes and the journey to the unknown destination had to continue.
😉
But again circumstances worked in my favour and the two missing comrades had not arrived at the meeting point, so.... another portrait.
Haz lo que amas, haz que suceda (o hazlo realidad)
I don't know... the Universe speaks to me in so many ways... look what this lady's T-shirt says. The story of how I got this photo I'll keep to myself though. While editing it, I saw my granny Mulata on her face. I don't know what @mamani will think about it, maybe I'm a bit shocked. 😵
I can't look at this photo because I can't see it straight, no matter how hard I try... I'll leave it there, it's like a demon I'm letting loose.
@palomap3, I photographed for you these statues that stand on the entrance steps of the Capitol, the seat of our Parliament. I found this perspective interesting.
(I will make a post just for these beauties. I love photographing statues)
This way I come to the end of my participation in the #Monomad Challenge. I will include this other view in colour, just from the same place where I got these photos of the surroundings of the Capitol, as a preview of what you will possibly see in my next post, 😁 colours... and fire.

¡Gracias @dimascastillo90!
Great vantage points, tonality, and composition:)))Lovely shots @nanixxx✨
Good morning, Milly. I'm glad you like these photos.
It's almost one of those exercises of staying still in one place and capturing some of what's going on around you, which is a lot.
📷
Definitely that phrase on that t-shirt speaks volumes!!!! I have also received some signs yesterday and very clear! I love the sculptures and what you have found on your way... it's good to keep an eye on the road....
Give me a clue. 😄
Good morning, Amonet y muchas gracias por estar.
Es para que veas mi conexión. 😊
I would tell you to go on the roof, but it's dangerous!!!! Mother of God!
Y hay mucho sol... 🤗😄
jajajaja conviértete en antena!
I showed the photo to your father and if at first glance it has the resemblance to your grandmother, it is a message just for you. The photos as always beautiful. With love.🥰❤️
😊 sí, te llamaré en la tarde. Te quiero mucho Mamani.
Ohhh thanks for the mention, I loved the statue’s perspective. I can’t wait to know more about them!
Ps. I don’t see it straight neither in the previous photo, hahaha. Maybe it’s the Cuban Pisa Tower? 😂
Necesito una regla para medir. Es que yo no sé lo que tengo que me cuesta poner las cosas derechas. 😄 Todas las fotos tienen alguna inclinación.
Buenos días Paloma.
Seguro que la herramienta que uses para editar las fotos tiene alguna regla o cuadrícula con la que ajustar mejor la inclinación. Noches ya para mí. 😘
Sí, claro que la tiene. Eso es lo más terrible de asimilar, que ni aún con eso lo logro. Buenas noches.
Ups, entonces tienes un problema muy gordo, jajaja. 🤣
Photo really speaks. I like the way you are in the photo. So surprised. Being in the mood through the sunny day. 🥳
One should never stop being surprised. Thanks for stopping by and for commenting, have a lovely day.
Amazing shot my friend,you managed to capture some amazing moments,I really enjoyed your entry today,so cool😊
I really enjoy photographing and I think I'm very lucky to be able to share here and receive such good comments like yours. Thank you, @furkanmamplam. Have a nice day!
Your welcome my friend 👍
Good morning @nanixxx, Clearly the universe is very loquacious with you. I love that shirt and I think I will really like that next chapter full of colors and fire.
A very big hug.
He said: Anita, let's go cycling. And I asked, where to. And he answered, I don't know where our feet will take us.
I left the most important thing guaranteed so that on my return I would at least have something to eat. I got ready and we set off. At another time I would have said no, that without planning I was not going.
The same with crossing the bay knowing that the night would catch us.
I feel I need to live more.Good morning, @enraizar. On Sunday I had woken up and after a little walk in my garden, I made my coffee and started reading posts on Hive, well.... I was doing that and other things because sometimes I'm a multitasker. Then my neighbour called me and I opened the window right next to where I sit in front of my laptop.
Gracias por andar cerca. Ahora tengo que ir a ver lo de mis rayos X. Ayer fui a dos lugares y los equipos estaban rotos. 🤷🏻 Pero me dije que no iba a escribir más posts de lamentaciones.
I didn't ask you about your pain and your visits to the dentist because it didn't seem appropriate, but I didn't forget. I hope you are better.
I took this afternoon off. Now I am with some friends who prepared a surprise for me. My birthday was about a month ago, and I don't celebrate it. Today they prepared a surprise party for me. I am very happy.
Thanks for being there (always). I hope you have a great day. I'll keep drinking and in a little while we'll go to the movies.
A big hug, @nanixxx.
Oh, how nice 🤓🤗. Enjoy that moment to the fullest and happy belated birthday.
Everything is going to be ok in the end with my tooth. I know. Thank you.
A big hug!
Se me olvidaba, se feliz. 😃🎉
😊 sí, todos tenemos que serlo. Porque si no, qué sentido tiene.
Totalmente de acuerdo. 😃 Y además nos lo merecemos. Te dejo hasta mañana, @nanixxx 👋. Voy a seguir con la party. 🎉🤗 Feliz día!!!
🙌🏻😄🎉 Hasta mañana.
👋☺️
Excellent photos @nanixxx. Your Sunday bike ride sounds interesting. Luckily it took a few minutes for that gentleman to fix the punch on your friend's bike. Greetings and have a nice day ☺️
Thank you! And I forgot to say that he wished us a great ride with that wide smile hahaha....
It's good when people have a good vibe, isn't it?
Have a nice day @yeni82! 🌞
It's true, people with good vibes brighten the day of everyone around them.
Let's follow their example, with good vibes I wish you nice day again 😊.
😄 gracias.
Each scene and character has a story to tell, although in some cases they are unknown characters that we will never know what happens in those moments but you fulfill with portraying that scene that can be interpreted in different ways. Excellent shots and greetings!
That's what I love about street photography.... Even if there's posing, it's all so natural.
Thanks @wilfredocav. ¡Saludos!
@brumest and Qurator Team, 😊🐝 thank you! ✨
The photo of the lady with the t-shirt is great, the t-shirt, the pose, the gesture, the look and the lines on her face. This next publication promises: colors, fire and the anecdotes of Nani-Yak that never disappoint. 😉
😄 Yak se me quedó.
Looks like I'm going to bring something challenging, doesn't it? Well, I don't know. We'll see. Hahaha... I'm creating expectation. 🤣
A juzgar por cómo mira hacia la izquierda con cierta incertidumbre, diría que ha estado esperando por más de 40 minutos.
🤓 También pudo haber acabado de llegar y estaba mirando a lo lejos a alguien conocido. O a lo mejor no esperaba ningún ómnibus, sino a alguien que venía en un auto. O simplemente se sentó a descansar allí. O... Quizás sabía que yo iba a fotografiarla e incluirla en este blog. 🤣 Todo es válido.
Buenos días @neblomax. Gracias por pasar a charlar un rato conmigo.
