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.

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?

😁
