PHOTOS

Here is a random sample of my photos. Visit my galleries for many more.


<p>A bridge along the hike from Upsete to Flåm, in central Norway. It had a nice bounce to it. <br /></p>
<p>Russia's largest hotel dates from the late 1970s, when it was built as part of the facilities for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. There are over 1750 rooms in the Cosmos, which still operates today.<br /></p>
<p>A gang of miniature Beethovens wait to be placed in formation by a worker. Part of Bonn's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of its famous son's birth, the Beethoven statues were later put up for 'adoption'. I like mine very much. </p>
<p>A moment in Manhattan.<br /></p>
<p>A view of the Dolomites from the Alta Via Dolomiti trail, near Villnöß. </p>
<p>An esoteric message painted on the side of a truck in São Paulo, Brazil.</p>
<p>A street scene in São Tomé's compact city centre.</p>
<p>A silky sky hangs over fields near the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary.</p>
