Uphill I understand... and gimme a whiskey on the rocks!
I signed up for a Strava challenge to cycle 200km in March and I've done it. Yesterday (I think) I received the notification.
This means that I have been moving around a lot of Havana's neighbourhoods and of course, I often take the Panasonic Lumix with me. When I see something that catches my eye I stop and take the picture. Sometimes I wait, like with planes... but if I can't achieve my goal of photographing an iron bird in mid-flight, I photograph them just landed or ready to the take-off. It doesn't matter.
Today I feel a bit tired. But happy because I got my ADSL connection back. I was notified by an employee of the Telephone Company to go and pay and sign the documents. The problem with the system that prevented them from entering my data, in order to register everything digitally, was solved... so today I took my bike again and went there, signed, paid and thanked the person who attended me very kindly. Then I treated myself to a mantecado ice cream. And I cycled around Miramar, went to the Miramar Trade Center, located some places suitable for going to work from time to time... and took some more pictures. 😄

If one day I escape... it will not be in a boat... (just sayin')
I've had some very challenging days, but they made me get out of my comfort zone. And so I visited more parks, if I didn't achieve my goal at least I felt my legs stronger after each slope I overcame. There are many uphill slopes and there is also a heart here that will overcome any obstacle to cherish its dream.
Some scenes tell me more in black and white.
Jesus Church of Miramar
One day a long, long time ago there was a battle between vampires here.
It also happens that certain landscapes remain incomplete for me, but they are a reminder that I have to go back there for more.
A zoom lens is always a good ally when someone is looking at you... like this. 🤣
@monochromes, if you allow me, I return to the #Monomad Challenge with these images.
This is one of those scenes where colour is implicit.
How do you like to drink it... on the rocks?
😁

What is better than getting fit while taking pictures? The photos as the result of those activities which are as nice as yours.
I wonder what lens do you use? it is a Micro Four Third camera isn't it?
😄 yes, an old one, but I love it.

have you tried it for birding? I really want to try birding and macro for my olympus camera, I mean with the real macro lens. hahah
becuase at the moment, I am using a canon lens for my set up.
Yes, I have taken some photos of birds. And videos too. 👌🏻
As long as there is enough light there is no problem. The thing is that my camera is very noisy at 800 ISO.
I have never used cameras other than Nikon and my Panasonic. Can a Canon lens be used on an Olimpus?
Muy buenas imágenes, me encantó la última. Un buen trago de roca al ron, genial. 😄
🤪
La gente por los alrededores del aeropuerto bebe whiskey. Esa botella fue de alguna despedida.
idid wonder where you had disappeared to, now we know, good you got sorted, missed seeing your brilliant snaps.
love the way you have explained the last photo, very clever!
I hate scotch whiskey, I just don't get it.
I've been a bit absent, but I haven't stopped taking photos here and there. Thank you 😄.
As I'm not a drinker, I can try any of them, "un trago de vez en cuando no hace daño."
No it often helps!!
That's strange :) I'd expect rum bottles scattered across the island :)
Well, I was surprised by the very well designed scene. I found that one there in the same place from where I took the picture of the planes.
The whiskey literally on the rock is great. 😅😆
It indeed is :)
I like the view that you got to take the pictures of the Jesús Church at Miramar.... congratulations!¡
Thank you. It's a view from behind and across the street is Monte Barreto. I really like it there because of the grass. The colour photo is nice too.
Good thing you're already connected! I'm glad to read that, some days are really challenging but you take great pictures, the one with the reflection in the water is my favourite.
In the face of incomplete landscapes one can complete them with the mind, the imagination!!! Good morning!
I would have liked to see the vampire battle!
Good morning! Well, try to imagine the vampire battle while looking at the picture and you might be able to get in there and see it with your own eyes. 🤪🤭
Thanks for your compliments. I really like that you like my photos.
I've seen too many vampire movies hahaha.
I always love your photos!

Those mechanical feathered creatures are not easy to photograph in flight, are they shy? haha
Did someone say vampire battle? 🦉
How great that you are already connected, will you get my feathered hugs? ❤️🦉
🤭😅 sí, claro. Ya ven y sal de ese ataúd. Qué genia eres.
Los aviones no vuelan mucho en nuestros cielos. De que sale uno a que sale otro pasa un buen rato.
¡Muchas gracias @jlinaresp y Visualshots! 😃
Hi, @brumest and Qurator, I am always very grateful for your support. ☺️
The last image is a great one!
Mantecado ice cream? Haven't heard of that before... How was it?
😉 gracias.
It's a flavour that I think was invented in Seville, Spain. I can't tell you what it tastes like... 😆 It tastes to mantecado. What's it going to taste like? But I like it and so does my sister. Then I saw it and thought of her and ordered it.
Your photos are great, don't miss your bike rides. Wiski on the rocks... How I like it. 🥃🥰😅
😅 Marchando su trago, señora. 😄🤪🤗

Humor behind the shot. Well done !!!
