Thank you all very much for your encouraging comments and wishes. Being away from my country and not able to come back to see my family has been one of the hardest things I've ever faced. Your comments were the best gift this week. Thank you again.

I was able to see Cuba this week, but only from a distance of several miles from a cruise ship. It would be great to be able to visit there... I can only imagine what it must be like to be unable to visit your homeland.

guess I don't like the lighting very well on this...or it is to tight...if your subject were back a little then the lighting would have worked...

The image conveys a sense of looking into the past, perhaps at an art gallery. The title reveals the poignant context. Good art in a small package.
