These certainly don't move, but they move a lot of people.

Gibara, Cuba: Camilo Cienfuegos was one of the most popular commandtes of the Cuban revolution, more popular with the people than Fidel because of his rugged handsome appearance. On 28 October, 1959 just 10 months after the revolutionary forces seized control of the country, Camilo's Cessna returning to Havana from Camaguey disappeared. No traces have ever been found. Every year on 28 October all the children throw flowers into the sea in honor of Camilo. 40 years ago, the residents of Gibara, a fishing town on the north east coast, donated everything they had that was made of bronze to construct this 6 meter tall statue of Camilo.

I normally photograph people not statues but showed up at daybreak for this photo as a lead in to a story of the children of Gibara throwing the flowers into the sea in honor of Camilo. I had traveled from Florida to Gibara for this event on 28 October 2016 but the weather was crappy and my photos bad so I returned this year.

The previous post by Doug is a photo of the exhibit of Camilo and Che from the Museum of the Revolution in Havana. In spite of spending months in Havana and walking by the Museum hundreds of times, I have never been inside. Instead I just go have a beer with an old friend who fought in the Revolution.

Thanks, Bob, lovely silhouette. In my photo I note the differences in how the diorama portrays Che more favorably than Camilo...
