Sitting on the door stoop and watching life go by is an interesting way to pass time in Havana. All three of these guys were friendly and open to having a photo made. The one in the middle was the most interested and looked directly at the camera. These old carved doors are seen commonly in Habana Centro and Habana Vieja. One hopes that they are preserved insofar as possible as these areas are slowly restored. It is a shame that the care of so many of these things has been so limited and desultory. Often one hears the government being criticized for putting too many of its resources into military things and not rebuilding or maintaining the country. I suppose that cuts several ways and it depends where you start since many governments other than that of Cuba leave themselves open to the same criticism.
