PHOTOS

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


<p>A fallen tree in the forests between Buckow and Müncheberg.</p>
<p>Designed by Viktor Andreyev (who also did the Hotel Cosmos just down the road), this 25-storey tower block dates from 1968 and is something of a Moscow landmark. The trees block the stilts that give it its unusual name, the House on Chicken Legs (Дом на ножках in Russian). </p>
<p>Britain's Nicola Sanders runs the anchor leg of the women's 4x400m final at the 12th IAAF World Championships, at Berlin's Olympiastadion. Initially finishing fourth, the British team was later upgraded to bronze after the Russians were disqualified for doping.<br /></p>
