I want to share the dawn in the lighthouse of Cabo Lucrecia, on the north of the province of Holguin, Cuba. There, the Ike hurricane landfall four years ago.
One year later, I visited that place and I enjoyed nature and the sincerity of its people. But the most beautiful experience was, no doubt, seeing the sun rise.

One of the most beautiful symbols of Cuba is its national flower: "la mariposa" (the butterfly). Cuban women decorated their hair with it and used it to hide messages in the struggle for independence. Its whiteness means the pureness of our ideals. 
This picture was taken in a mountain of Mayari, on the east of Holguin, Cuba. Is it not true that is it beautiful?

They are a bridge of friendship between  Cuba and Canada.
