An old disco-stone

Hello photography enthusiasts. A place that brings me many good and happy memories of my childhood and adolescence is the reason for this publication. "El Salto", a popular camping site built at the foot of a mountain and on the shore of a tributary of the Cuyaguateje River, the largest and most extensive of the western region of Cuba. In this site there is a small hill with a hollow that crosses it and where many years ago there was a nightclub or discotheque as it was called at that time.

It was small but very cozy and exotic for that time, I love to go there and see all those flashing lights projecting all over the rock formations. Today that is history, none of that is left anymore although the camping is working. It makes me a little nostalgic and angry that some good things no longer exist due to abandonment and issues that no one understands. It is incredible but I had never taken pictures in this place. I have been here several times as an adult and I have never taken a picture, and the truth is that when you have fun and enjoy nature, with family and friends, you forget the pictures. This time I did bring my camera to take some pictures. The photos that I share with you today is the small mountain where the discotheque was located inside its cave.

The visits to my hometown are getting farther and farther away as the family moves closer to the capital. At least I have these photographs to always remember the "good times", which I don't know why they are always in the past. I hope you like this proposal, see you!

Hola apasionados de la fotografia. Un lugar que me trae muchos buenos y felices recuerdos de mi infancia y adolescencia es el motivo de esta publicación. "El Salto", un campismo popular construido al pie de una montaña y a la orilla de un afluente del río Cuyaguateje, el más caudaloso y extenso de la región occidental de Cuba. En este sitio existe una pequeña colina con un hueco que la atraviesa y dónde había hace muchos años un centro nocturno o discoteca como le llamaban en esa época. Era pequeña pero muy acogedora y exótica para ese entonces, me encanta ir allí y ver todas esas luces intermitentes proyectándose por todas las formaciones de la roca. Hoy eso es historia, nada de eso queda ya aunque el campismo si está funcionando. Le verdad me da un poco de nostalgia y rabia que algunas buenas cosas ya no existan por abandono y cuestiones que nadie entiende. Es increíble pero nunca había hecho fotos en este lugar. He venido en varias ocasiones ya de adulto y nunca he tirado una fotografía, y es que en verdad cuando uno se divierte y disfruta de la naturaleza, con familia y amigos, se olvidan las fotografías. En esta ocasión si traje mi cámara para hacer algunas capturas. Las fotos que comparto hoy con ustedes es la pequeña montaña dónde estaba enclavada la discoteca en el interior de su cueva. Ya se van distanciando las visitas a mi pueblo natal a medida que la familia se va desplazando acercándose a la capital. Al menos me quedan estás fotografías para siempre recordar los "buenos tiempos", que no se porqué siempre son el pasado. Espero les agrade esta propuesta. ¡Nos vemos!
