Thanks for the comment. Its hard to move away from colour in Cuba, as you suggest there is a palate of colour and Helen in particular was very keen to capture it. I don't think paint has been applied outside the most tourist areas for 40 odd years, but the faded pastels give real character. As I said in a previous post the bus shot was one I worked on a lot and this is the only one which pleased me: so far at least Cheers Alastair
