Revolutionary Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was the kind of sunset that I couldn't take my eyes off of. I was walking backwards, it was so beautiful. This is Jose Marti's statue at the Plaza de la Revolution at sunset. I could have gotten a much better shot of this if the 50 guards on watch at the place would have let me get closer. I managed to get about 200 feet "off limits" to get this shot before getting yelled at... again. Apparently, the place is only open during the day.
Best thing about digital cameras: Police can't confiscate film!

Truly amazing sky you got there Mike. I felt I needed to see what would happen if I cropped the statue out....

Wonderfull Mike.

I was there in 2003 (Jully). I was there, and i walk to market, then "Americas House" and to the bay. I went in Old Havana and drink "Cristal" beer in "la boguedita del medio" and the mojito. Was great. That sky I saw many time there, it´s amazing. Thanks for remenber great time.

Well Done. I'm out of Point's. Tomorow Update.

Magnificent play of colours, a wonderful skyscape!
I also like Nina's workshop, I think the statue is more prominent if the monument is ropped off.
P.S: I suppose if you really infuriate the Police, they could confiscate your memory card? *G*
