Cactus Shadow

French Kiss

Havana

This is a pretty beat up place.

Life is hard. You make your way through rough terrain. And there you stand.

I was walking along the edge of town near the Malecon for the sunset. And here comes this beat up cactus in its grubby, near-death surrounds. But look at that shadow in that intense sun!

Look at the cactus. The short one's getting it in the eye, the tall one's getting it in the neck. But the shadow is French kissing. Its life is bright passionate blue.
