¡Ay, vecino! [This is my entry for Monomad] [ENG-ESP]

La fotografía callejera es una de mis preferidas. A través del lente comienzas a ver cosas que normalmente en la vida cotidiana estás muy apuradx para notar, pues se te hace tarde para el trabajo, tienes que llegar a casa a preparar la cena, te enteraste que llegó el pollo y hoy se vence!! (solo quienes hayan tenido relación con Cuba entenderán esto último, los que no, sin pena pregunten 😂)

Street photography is one of my favorites. Through the lens you start to see things that normally in everyday life you are in too much of a hurry to notice, because you are late for work, you have to get home to prepare dinner, you found out that the chicken arrived and today is the deadline.!!! (only those who have had a relationship with Cuba will understand the last, those who haven't, no problem, ask! 😂).

Hoy les traigo 6 fotos relacionadas con la arquitectura que aunque en pésimas condiciones de mantenimiento, nos hacen un guiño😉 sobre lo que una vez fueron.
En Cuba, en sus edificios multifamiliares, es muy común encontrar unas rejas que dividen un balcón de otro, que generalmente tienen unos "pinchos", y se les conoce como "guardavecinos", aporte cubano a la RAE, tal como lo reconoce la misma:
Guardavecino 1. m. Cuba. Reja que separa los balcones o terrazas de casas colindantes.

Today I bring you 6 photos related to architecture that although in terrible conditions of maintenance, they make us a wink😉 about what they once were.
In Cuba, in its multifamily buildings, it is very common to find some bars that divide one balcony from another, which generally have some "spikes", and they are known as "guardavecinos", Cuban contribution to the RAE, as recognized by the same:
Guardavecino 1. m. Cuba. Grille that separates the balconies or terraces of adjoining houses.

Nuestro novelista Alejo Carpentier (premio Cervantes 1977), en una de sus más reconocidas obras La Ciudad de las Columnas describe de la manera más hermosa este elemento:

(…) frontera decorativa, puesta en el límite de una casa, o, en todo caso, de un piso, repitiéndose, en él —multiplicándose, por tanto—, toda la temática decorativa que ya había nacido en las rejas puestas al nivel de las calles, aupándose, elevándose con ello el barroquismo de los elementos arquitectónicos acumulados por la ciudad criolla... Nacieron allí, en lo alto, nuevas liras, nuevas claves de sol, nuevos rosetones, remozándose un arte de la forja que estaba en peligro de desaparecer con los últimos portafaroles... que solían sacar el brazo propicio sobre el arco mayor de la puerta mayor.

Esta pieza de cubanía, es el eje central de esta serie fotográfica.

Our novelist Alejo Carpentier (Cervantes Prize 1977), in one of his most renowned works "La Ciudad de las Columnas" describes this element in the most beautiful way:

(...) decorative border, placed at the limit of a house, or, in any case, of a floor, repeating, in it -multiplying, therefore-, all the decorative theme that had already been born in the railings placed at street level, rising, elevating with it the baroque of the architectural elements accumulated by the Creole city... New liras, new keystones, new rosettes were born there, at the top, rejuvenating an art of forging that was in danger of disappearing with the last beacons... that used to take out the propitious arm on the main arch of the main door.

This piece of Cuban architecture is the central axis of this photographic series.
