They laugh at me, telling me we're going down a hill, that there's a roundabout at the bottom, and that I should check the brakes lest I get killed because cars are passing by. I told them I don't like dangerous things like that.
😄
We went to this place because they like beer very much. They prefer there, in Almendares Park, because they say it's cheap and good. A pitcher costs about 240 CUP, which in dollars would be about 0.74. What I can't know for sure is whether what we drank was Cristal beer. It's supposed to be that one if there are so many advertisements... but in Havana, nothing should be assumed.
It's not a bad beer, no. I was thirsty, so I drank a single jar, and a bit fast. It was a light beer like Cristal. I didn't even think about it; I'm not going to lie to you.
What I couldn't stand about the place was the reggaeton spitting out of the loudspeakers. Yoyo Batman told me he didn't listen to it. The man has a great power of abstraction, it's incredible.
I took the opportunity to take a few photos. Well, you've seen it... but I could already smell the rain, it was very close.
I saw that I had a good position to make this capture. I waited for someone on a bike to pass and had no luck before it started to rain heavily.
And then...
We went to take shelter in the car park, if you saw the video, there, where the graffiti is.
We were waiting for about two hours I think. I didn't even look at the clock. I just adapted to the situation. There was no choice but to wait for the rain to stop or at least slow down.
Sometimes I feel like I have all the time in the world... and other times I don't.
I know these are not super photos or anything like that. I had my Panasonic Lumix G10 camera with a 45-200 zoom lens. I tried to lean it on some electric motorbikes that were parked there, and on the seat of my bike too, so I could take the pictures at low speed. It was uncomfortable, but looking at them afterwards, I think they conveyed a certain distress.
I felt I had all the time in the world... yes, but actually I was worried because the weather was bad and my friends never let me get home alone. They would have to take a long detour for me to get there safely.
Colours.
There are always colours and hope!
Sometimes I want things to be perfect, as I imagined they would be.
Then I discover that perfection is just an instant in which I recognise the non-existence of perfection.
You see, unique moments, like vessels of emotions.
Let's go back to the beginning.
Rainy, stuck under a bridge and I...

Has the rain season started yet?
Look... 🍺 you always ask me. Aquí la prueba.
Finally! :)
Salud!
😁 Salud!
It rains most afternoons, but today in particular we have very bad weather due to the influence of Hurricane Milton. Right now it is raining and there are strong winds. I think it must be worse for the western area. Milton was moving towards the Florida, we will have to see how it goes... I just woke up.
That road that goes through El Bosque de la Habana, I've always had a respect for it (a.k.a. a bit of fear), even when I've driven cars there I still feel that way. Accidents are common there, and watching the video made me feel that.
On the other hand, cool photos! Love the one with the person walking the bridge
Btw a few weeks ago, I was there to enjoy a movie next to El Parqueo under the bridge, where you hid from the rain. It was a unique experience, and luckily it didn't rain that day 😅
You were saved by the fact that it didn't rain. Yesterday I was thinking about how many times I got caught in the rain at night far from home without a bike. Really sad with transport as bad as it is.
That area is dangerous... And the cars go by fast.
¿Y qué me cuentas del folclor allí? 🤦🏻♀️👀
Photos of nanixxx always speak for themselves... even if they don't look cool to you, to others like me, they always will.
You look like someone! 😁
I liked the photo of the bridge even though no bike rider will pass....
And in the ones of the reflections in the water you are an expert in discovering things like ¿flamingos?
Ay nanixxx , your stories through photography is wonderful.
🌻
ay, qué linda. Gracias. 😌😉
¿a quién me parezco?
Hummmmmm...a un señor que vive por Australia...que toma hermosas fotos y no lo reconoce.😅
Escribí en español porque él solo sabe decir Hola en nuestro idioma.🙃
😁
😂 A ver si aparece por aquí, y te dice Hola.
😂😂😂😂
Hola,Hi,مرحبًا,Hallo,হ্যালো,안녕하세요,Γειά σου...
Buenas noches @nanixxx
🤣 koniec (ahora no sé si era con c o con k)
Deberías, eres medio rusa y medio ucraniana.
You should, you are half Russian and half Ukrainian.
🙃😂😂
Ah no!!
Eso es polaco (?)
Que fotos más bonitas, me gustaron mucho las del puente y el vídeo espectacular 👌🏽, estos días son lluviosos, hay que esperar para pedalear 👍🏽
Gracias, @lileisabel 🤗. Esta fue la segunda parte del recorrido del post anterior ;)
Tremendo mal tiempo, sí.
Nice ride and lovely photos!
I like them the best in color!

Thank you. I also like the ones with coloured reflections. I don't think I've ever done this before, showing both versions in the same post.

That's great @nanixxx! We're excited to see your progress on Hive! We can't wait to see you achieve this next one!
step by step 😁
I love the mural under the bridge, stop the video in several parts to see it better!!!
The pictures of the reflections of the water with the colours look great.... and yes we often feel we have all the time in the world... time is relative and we really do have it all.😃
That place is very interesting. It's a big forest inside the city. Being there and yesterday while I was editing the photos I thought about you and your walks.
Because I go to crazy places ???? hahaha A forest in the city! I want to see it!
This is the best shot for me there.
It's okay to be stuck in the rain for as long as there are things to do to have fun haha..
Thank you! 😄 I think I have another one where you see two people holding hands, I think. I should check.
The B&W color suits it well. I love the silhouette of the woman
Good morning 🫖
I liked the photos, and the contrast between the colour photographs and the black and white ones. It really changes the atmosphere. This time I prefer the colour ones. I don't know if it's because they were taken at low speed? but I like the result. I also liked seeing the light reflected in the rainwater.
Here it rains, last year the autumn lasted a couple of months, it seems that this year the autumn has been much shorter (we will have to wait).
Abrazo.
Good morning... I woke up a moment ago and I hear strong winds outside and rain.
I'm going to get my glass of water.
I hope your day is going well.
Abrazo de vuelta.
PS. The pictures are taken with very low speed because when I turn up the ISO on that camera it's noisy as hell. I think that already at 800 ISO the noise is very noticeable.
Buenos días!!
Perhaps out of necessity, but I like the result. Rain on this day. Last year we had a long and beautiful autumn, about two months, this year I think it's over.
El día va muy bien, con bastante trabajo.
Espero que también tengas un gran día.
Me desperté cansada 😔 - voy a hacer las tres tareas de hoy y luego ya veré qué trae el día.
👋🏻
Y gracias 😉
De nada. 😃
Que te vaya bien!!, por acá en unos 45 minutos comienzo la tarde.
Aquí el otoño no se ve. En realidad, ni invierno casi estamos teniendo. Yo no sé qué hacer ya con mis abrigos. 🤣
No tengo respuesta a tanta adversidad. 🤣
