This is probably my favourite picture ever taken,the former Soviet embassy building in Havana.
It is said that the architect was given the brief to design the building to resemble "A Dagger in the Heart of America" and the building certainly does look sinister - with almost a robotic "face".
I often wonder if the contrast of the American style billboard was an intentional message from the Cuban people to demonstrate who they would rather have as their backers, after all their is no competitor to the brand and the majority of people who see it could not afford it anyway.

Yes, it is a row of classic American cars in front of the Capitol building.I hope this view never changes and I applied a little bit of Photoshop to help keep it that way.
