“Splendid Spiral”. This boy's mom invited me to visit their home when I was wondering around the old town in Havana. Sensing that there was a visitor, he ran down and stared at me with his curious eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off the staircase. It is so dilapidated yet somehow I see a splendid spiral, in its old, old glamorous time. (Photo and caption by Elisa Chiu/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
