Havana, Cuba

There are some places in the world that are defined by their colours, or their lack of colours. The city of Cairo, for example, remains muted and dusty in my mind, its smells and sounds the predominant senses. Havana, on the other hand, was bursting with colour: fruit spilling out of cartons, graffitied walls, outfits of the brightest oranges and yellows and reds, and, of course, the cars. I couldn’t stop taking photos of it.

What is one of the most colourful cities you’ve ever been to?

What vibrant colors! I don’t think I’ve ever been to such a colorful city. I remember a lot of rich colors in Uganda – the red clay, the lush green of the plants, bright blue sky, etc – but my pictures don’t compare to yours!

Thank you! That’s not Kerri, that’s my friend Rikki, and yes, she has great style!
