Viva Cuba - crumbling beauty

The beauty of the colourful urban decay of Havana Cuba is a style of its own.  Cuba has become an inspiration for me since someone showed me some window panels in Havana Green, almost a dark bottle green.  I have always been curious about Cuba since I saw the movie Godfather II many years ago.  The big 1950s American cars, the architectural influence of the Spanish missionaries, the languid approach to living a la Caribbean and splashes of colour which put new life back into old crumbling buildings.
