Photo-Finish Friday -- The Santeria's Courtyard

We got to spend some time with a Santeria priest in Cuba one morning. Along with learning about his religion, we got to see this view out of the sanctuary.

ETA: I'm tickled to say that David Cranmer has decided to post his own Photo-Finish Friday, and Laurie Powers will be getting in on the fun later on today.
Check 'em out. I think you'll be pleased.

Cuba is one of those places that's on my list. Must be a photographer's heaven.

Carla, thanks. I'm a-feared I don't recall much about it other than it's a hybrid of Catholicism and some African religions.

Thank you, David. I'll be over shortly to see what you've posted.

Hello, Laurie. Welcome. It is a beautiful island and the way of life is so different from here. It's an interesting, amazing place.

I love these pictures. I'll probably never get to Cuba so I appreciate your photos.

What a view! I wouldn't want to leave. You captured the feeling of it, at least to me.

Leah J. Utas said...

You're very kind, Messymimi. Thanks.

That's a great photo, Leah. The colours and textures are wonderful. I'll bet it made for an interesting day.

Hilary, thanks. I'm glad you like it. The lines and shapes in it are what intrigued me about it.
