Hello friends;<\/p>\n

This is a very CUBAN post, this place (La Demajagua National Monument) is the origins of the fight for Cuban Freedom, back in 1868 a rich Cuban sugar mill owner called Carlos Manuel de C\u00e9spedez offered freedom to all his slaves who wanted to join him in a fight against the Spanish Conquistador!.<\/p>\n

This is a view old the famous sugar mill, a very well spread photo over the internet:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today this historical place is visited only by tourists (I don’t want to be absolutist, but is almost 99% of the visitors) that have the chance to drive over, for locals is kind of difficult to go, because of the distance from the local town Manzanillo, here a very fave photo of the Freedom Bell:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This last photo was in my Photo Goal Wall, I think i am very happy with the results! what do you think?….<\/p>\n

Another view of the Bell:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rock wall is very tall, almost 6 foot to the start of the Bell hole, love the texture and the contrast between the two, the floor and the wall.<\/p>\n

To end the post, the cuban flags, the Carlos Manuel de C\u00e9spedez flag with the actual flag. To all cubans out there, freedom will be ours, once and for all!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am out to eat dinner!, have a great night!<\/p>\n

Cesar Out.<\/p>\n
