Another place in Cuba, same scenes.

In a residential area

We are still in a residential area. A ditch of water and garbage

A garbage dump. Behind it is what was once one of the largest ceramic factories in Cuba.

We are still with garbage. Behind it are the central warehouses for food distribution for the people.

Area where I work.

I did not edit any photos so that you can see that they were taken by me. There is no mystery. This is a reality.

Thanks for sharing a slice of your life. I guess this is why we lean into Bitcoin. To forge a better life for ourselves

What's in the former ceramic factory now?

Today it is a pile of rubble. A dump and nothing more. People have been destroying the walls to recycle the blocks for building, because there are no blocks or they are very expensive when someone sells them. Potters, like my son and his friends, have been digging and looking for refractory bricks to build their ovens.

The rubble that is left lying around is now being used by a person who grinds it and turns it into stones and other aggregates to sell.

The Isle of Youth was known for its pottery and grapefruit. Now it is neither.

Reminds me of Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand - people scavenging from the ruins of old factories.
