El campesino

shot taken around Pinar del rio/Vinales in Cuba
Very cool shot! The man looks like he is enjoying his walk with his two best friends.

Excellent "day in the life" shot. You got some really great ones on your vacation.

Fabulous shot but not sure I would want to take those two for a walk!

@ladyjane thanks Jane, that is what I prefer : to capture the moment, and the colors + light were fab, and the people so inviting... I couldn't miss it !

@judithdeacon thanks Judith, me neither, don't want to bring them back to my "home sweet home" I am not sure my cat could socialize with them ;)

Great capture, Corinne! Those are some mighty fine looking horns on those bulls! I think that's the fattest cigar I've even seen, too!

@marlboromaam thanks Maggie, yes, these horns were enormous ! And the cigar too ! My husband bought some "Wide Churchill" : these are the biggest stinking cigars I've seen

Fab shot, great to see a farmer smoking a big fat la di dah. It is rhyming slang for a cigar! Great horns on the cow too.

@seanoneill it was an hand made cigar, farmers have the right to keep some leaves of tobacco for their own consommation, so they can do as big as they want ! ;) Thanks for stopping and commenting Sean, it is always very appreciated :)

Love the look of that cigar!!

@bdb3471 My husband was mad about them too, he wanted to try everything, but he didn't dare ask him one !
April 29th, 2012  
Thats a brilliant capture!.....That cigar is nearly as big as those horns!!....Fabulous backdrop! : )

La vache! J'adore comme tu as pu nous montrer une partie de la vie quotidienne d'un paysan de la région. C'est très intéressant et ces bêtes sont impressionnants!

@hasselhotch merci David j'ai un millier de clichés et j'ai du mal à choisir, si je continue je vais mettre des vues de Cuba jusqu'au mois d'aout ! En tous les cas merci pour tes commentaires, toujours très appréciés :)
