Amidst the urban decay, trees take root in the strangest places. Did you ever watch the show "Life After People"? It's a series that explores what our planet might be like if the human race were to suddenly disappear. There are many scenes of nature taking back the city.

Walking through Havana is a great workout for the brain as you are constantly trying to figure out what is going on around you, and as a photographer, what to focus on. In this first post, I start from above, getting an overview, before diving into the details.
