This is sunset at Varadero, a resort town on the north coast of Cuba. Each night the government has the sun go down at dusk so tourists can take photos of it. The locals are also rationed a single sunset…
The View Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
I saw that saying on a postcard once – and it made me think of you! Here’s my own postcard that I took a photo of. We all piled into our little boat and headed away from the city. We…
