Four-Years Ago (25-November-2015) — Cuba

Gone to See Cuba 2011 People to People Cultural Exchange. Day 7 of a Street Photography Workshop led by Steve Simon.

While leaving Cuba, I noticed this old 3-engine jet on the side of the runway in Cuba (L-1011, MD-10, DC-11 Boeing 727?). It looks like it is used for emergency evacuation practice. No engines, and black soot on the fuselage.

DC-10 (shell) Parked at the Havana International Airport. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 23 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 100, 23 mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec) (David J Mathre)

Five-Years Ago (25-November-2014) — Florida

Gone to See Florida 2014. Day 1: Merritt Island.

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge: Black Point Wildlife Drive. It was starting to rain, so I only got one loop on the wildlife drive. Some birds, but not as many as I have seen on previous visits. One new bird that I haven’t seen before. After looking through some books, I think it is an immature Common Gallinule.
