El Malecon shown with all its revolutionary progress.
Point your cursor over the picture to speed up and slow down the loop. The further left - appropriately - the slower.

Mixed feelings.....how beautiful and at the same time how sad. How beautiful it must've looked 47 years ago, the architecture still standing is a monument to its greatness....how sad that it is falling down piece by piece and almost looks like the remnants of a war zone.

It is like a beautiful woman whose insides are being destroyed by a horrible cancer.

That's just sad. ...and infuriating.

It will be glorious to see it when it is all refurbished in a few years! After the memory of the foul barbudo has been reduced to a scary children's story with a happy ending. So they can dream in peace, knowing that a great evil is gone from the world. I wish God would grant me the knowledge of when fidel will be leaving the planet. I would dearly love to be in little Habana when that announcement is made!

If people look closely they'll be able to notice how many buildings fronting the malecón are shells and nothing else.

I've spent most of my life in coastal cities. The first thing that jumps out at me here, besides the "Berlin at the end of WWII look" is the absense of boats in the harbor. Any where else in the world, harbors are filled with all kinds of boats. So where are the Cuban boats? Devastating.
