Instagram Cuba – a photographic view
What does Cuba look like today? Vibrant images of Cuba posted by Instagrammers Desmond Boylan @desboylan, Patrick Oppmann @cubareporter, Roberto Suárez @cubaenfotos, Alexandra Oppmann @cubajournal and Michael Petit @low843 show this long off-limits nation to the outside world through social media. Scenes on display include: female members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces; music on the famed Malecon, the seawall that runs along part of Havana; tropical scenes; colonial architecture dating back to the 16th century; colorful carnivals; the under-renovation El Capitolio building; government bodegas; vibrant city streets and nightlife; classic American cars pressed into service as city taxis; old Havana; people playing dominoes; and Our Lady of Regla, the black Cuban virgin and patron saint of mariners.
