Havana, Cuba

Here's your invitation to interact with the photograph. First, what's the make, model, and year of the car? Second, whose iconic image is on the wall watching? [2014]

Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, UK

The street market must go on even when it's cold and even when it's rainy. A few layers will fix the former and a few stripes the latter. Beyond the canopy, colors are few in the dead of winter. But, under cover of canvass, flavonoids create a warmth of their own. [2015]

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Four horses await four horsemen and the apocalypse. For the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, it was an apocalypse. They were defeated by the Mexican Army. Five years later the French ended their rule of Mexico.  The battle took place on the Fifth of May: Cinco de Mayo. [2015]

Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA

What would you expect to find in Holyoke's Veterans' Memorial Park? Veterans, of course. Many decades ago, these two fought in Vietnam. Now they enjoy autumn's sunny days and falling leaves as they get ready for yet another winter. [2013]

Springfield, Illinois, USA

What is the name of the Boy Scout Council in Springfield?  Hint: Notice the headgear. Central Illinois' Scouts took over downtown Springfield two weeks ago for Lincoln Pilgrimage week-end. This week-end the commemorative Lincoln Funeral Train begins its centennial tour in Springfield. [2015]

Washington, DC, USA

Two years ago, the National Mall was thronged with people of all races commemorating the "march on Washington for jobs and freedom." It was the 50th anniversary of the march and of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Given the events in St. Louis, New York, Baltimore and other cities, it is time to stop and ask ourselves: What would MLK do? [2013]

Tampa, Florida, USA

Could 2015 be a repeat of 2004 when the Tampa Bay Lightening won the Stanley Cup and gave it a year-long Florida vacation? As absurd as it seems, they dominated the regular season and are now in the finals. Absurd? Would you really expect a champion ice hockey team to come from a city in Florida? [2014]
