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

<p>An announcement board on a disused platform at Ostkreuz station, Berlin.</p>
<p>Snow coats a row of homes along Kensal Town's First Avenue, with the Trellick Tower in the distance.</p>

<p>Remnants of a former bakery in Berlin.</p>
<p>A Colombian Army soldier charges ahead. </p>
<p>A woman and her dog take in the dramatic waters while crossing the Maria Kristina zubia (bridge) in Donostia. The Urumea river flows into the Bay of Biscay just beyond those buildings, and on this winter day winds off the Atlantic were driving waves well upstream. <br /></p>
