This is one of my top five favorite photos of all time, and certainly the best from my fourth and final trip to Cuba in the ‘90s. What makes the photo unique is the casual way these men are playing dominoes, while a freshly killed pig’s head sits trophy-like on the edge of the table.

I have no idea why the head was placed there, and I doubt it was meant as the prize for the game. But the presence of this single element elevates the image, making it one of the most striking photos you’ll ever see of people playing dominoes. At the very least, it’s the strangest, all thanks to the Guajiros of Cuba.
