Description
Washing hanging out to dry on a balcony of one of the many historic buildings in Old Havana / Habana La Vieja, Cuba. Once built by wealthy families, many were taken over by the Cuban State after the 1959 Revolution and converted into flats to provide more housing. A lack of repair materials and resources means many buildings are in a pretty poor condition; making for interesting photo subjects but often cramped, poor living conditions for the families that occupy them.
