Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Havana

- the San Cristobal cathedral in Havana, Cuba

It was the spanish who founded Havana (Habana). The old parts of the city is listed on UNESCO’s world heritage list. There are a lot of old, american cars driving around on Cuba, but the don’t have the american engines left, they are replaced by Russian made diesel engines.

When we went to Cuba a while ago, we found this old and very beautiful cathedral (Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Havana) next to a very nice square. It looked very dirty at first, but then I realized that it is suppose to look like that. Anyway, the dirty look made it look so beautiful. I went inside to take some pictures, but there was a lot of tourist hanging around that particular day, so I went up in one of the clock towers instead. The stairs was very small and you shouldn’t have any problems with small spaces if you decide to go up there. And the view from up there wasn’t as good as I thought; maybe that is because I had to stop after one stair. There was a bee nest or something, under the next stair, which made me stop. I think I’m allergic to those guys.

I have uploaded 79 photos on the San Cristobal cathedral in Havana, Cuba. You can see them on the main site, http://www.remains.se. A galleri with some of the images you will find under this text. Enjoy!

Going to Estonia

Estonia

- the little country that I love

At last! I’m going back to Estonia in a short while. Hopefully I will be able to drive around and take some pictures. I’d love to go to Narva. The thing is that I thought the coolest part of the fortress there was on the russian side of the border, but I just got the wonderful info that it is in Estonia!

I’m still working on the new design for remains.se, but so far I haven’t come up with anything new. Next step is to upload ALL remaining photos I’ve got, it’s about 5000+ pictures! Gulp.
