Press Release
Body = The original author of Lonely Planet Cuba announces the launch
of Cuba-Pictures.com, a 14-page collection of 126 travel photos
of Cuba.
All photos in
this picture gallery are by David Stanley, who researched and wrote
the first two editions of Lonely Planet Cuba, published in 1997
and 2000. Stanley first visited Cuba in 1975, and over the next
four years he represented a Canadian
tour company on Isla de la Juventud, at Varadero, and in Havana.
Since then, he has revisited Cuba dozens of times.
A few of Stanley's
photos originally appeared in Lonely Planet Cuba, while the rest
are published here for the first time. They offer a cross section
of Cuba, with the emphasis on "real Cuban life" rather
than the artificial world of tourism. The images are intended to
convey the atmosphere of some very special places, and the warm,
friendly people who call Cuba home.
Each page of
pictures provides an introduction to a specific area, and all photos
are fully captioned. The site also features a map of Cuba, a shopping
mall with Cuban music, guides, and films, and a selection of travel
links. http://www.cuba-pictures.com is now open to visitors.
About Cuba-Pictures.com
David Stanley has been writing travel guides since 1979. His pioneering
guidebooks embrace the South Pacific islands, Micronesia, Alaska,
Eastern Europe, Cuba, and parts of Canada. Stanley researched and
wrote the first three editions of Eastern Europe on a Shoestring,
Lonely Planet's first guide to Europe. Though the current 3rd edition
of Lonely Planet Cuba was updated by another writer, much of Stanley's
material remains in the guide. His travel pictures of Cuba are now
freely accessible at http://www.cuba-pictures.com
