Havana From Above













My eyes and brain are still reeling from the visual cacophony that is Havana. The density of details to absorb here is perhaps higher than any place I have visited to date. There is the beautiful, the ugly, the astounding, the incomprehensible and the tragic. And you can encounter all of that in the span of a 5 minute walk. 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.

"visual cacophony",LOL !! That is the best way to describe that once truly beautiful and grand metropolis.Reforms and all, Havana continues to crumble amid very little renewal. Some new paint and plaster is about it. That said, AMAZING CITY !! ;)

Arts can be defined as the visual considered to have been created primarily for intellectual and aesthetic purposes and they are judged for their beauty and meaningfulness. Fine art is the art of creating pictures by applying color to a surface and characterized by a choice of subject.

Great view of Havan from above!

Muted text messages mean you are getting the messages but not the notifications. This can happen either intentionally or unintentionally.

Sometimes you remain disconnected from text messaging by muting them on your phone when we are super busy. Because there may be someone to message you repeatedly on your Android phone or Messenger app or some guys to gossip in a group for too long.

You can't join them right then due to your business, and their messages seem annoying to you. That’s why you mute them on Messenger or the phone's default message app.

It can also be because of tapping on different features such as a mute sign, menu bar, or do not disturb unintentionally or unconsciously.

When you are free of your business, or you discover that the messages are muted unintentionally, it is time to unmute all text messages immediately. But you may not know how to do it.

Here we come with the answer to let you know how to unmute all text messages on Android. Read our guide to accomplish it following the right way!

Irene, your vivid description of Havana truly captures the city's vibrant essence! It sounds like an incredible place where every corner tells a story. I love how you emphasize the duality of beauty and tragedy in such a dense environment—it's a photographer's dream! I can’t wait to see the detailed shots you capture after this overview. Do you have a favorite moment or scene from your time there that stood out the most?
