**Greetings, Hive friends:**

How was your weekend? Here, the heat continues to be unbearable, especially in the afternoons when it's over 30 degrees, so I took advantage of that to go out early with my camera and avoid the midday heat.  Today I have several ideas in mind. On the one hand, I want to focus on those details that are part of the city, that identify it, but that almost no one pays attention to. And on the other hand, I want to invite you to join me on this street tour and show you what I saw along the way.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to share this passion that unites us and continue contributing to this community that inspires us so much and has contributed to my growth as a photographer. So without further ado, I leave you with today's photos. I hope you enjoy them!

>*Saludos, amigos de Hive:
¿Cómo les fue el fin de semana? Por acá el calor sigue siendo insoportable, sobre todo en las tardes con más de 30 grados, así que aproveché para salir bien temprano a la calle con la cámara y evitar la hora del mediodía.  Hoy tengo varias ideas en mente. Por un lado, me interesa enfocarme en esos detalles que forman parte de la ciudad, que la identifican, pero a los que casi nadie les presta atención. Y por otro, quiero invitarlos a acompañarme en este recorrido callejero y mostrarles lo que fui viendo en el camino.
En definitiva, lo más importante  es compartir esta pasión que nos une y seguir aportando a esta comunidad que tanto nos inspira y ha contribuido en mi crecimiento como fotógrafo. Así que sin más, los dejo con las fotos de hoy. ¡Espero que las disfruten!*

A sculpture based on Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the "Vitruvian Man," stands at the entrance to the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, built in 1558.

I have always wondered if these huge cast iron vases in Paseo del Prado park have any other meaning besides decorative.

The statue is of Generalissimo Máximo Gómez, who survived the wars of independence and is one of the most representative figures in Cuban history.

If these photography outings have taught me anything, it is to train my eye and observe everything around me with respect and curiosity. I sincerely thank you all for always accompanying me on these tours of the city, which give me great satisfaction. I look forward to reading your comments, friends.

Until the next photography adventure.

>*Si algo me han aportado estas salidas fotográficas es aprender a educar mi visión y a observar con respeto y curiosidad todo lo que me rodea. A todos les agradezco sinceramente que me acompañen siempre en estos recorridos por la ciudad, lo que me da mucha satisfacción. Les leo en los comentarios amigos. 
Hasta la próxima aventura fotográfica.*

Your photos must be full of life and meaning. I also love the idea of honoring everyday heroes, like the barbers, it’s those little tributes that give a city soul.🤗

This is what I mean by having a tactical eye, capable of understanding your surroundings and capturing each of those scenes.
