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


<p>Vines and a tree gradually reclaim a colonial era building in Jakarta's historic core.</p>
<p>A momentary spotlight of sunshine illuminates the winding road out of Funningur.</p>
<p>A view of the Menara, a pavilion that dates from the 16th Century and sometimes served as a sultan's summer quarters. </p>
<p>A quiet afternoon at the market in the highland town of Ossu.<br /></p> <p>The rustic structure features a functional vaulted roof covering the main trading area (useful given the torrential rainfall in the country) with a facade that mixes shapes from vernacular local architecture with a tinge of art deco, fashionable with the then-colonial ruler.</p>
<p>Zoila stands in the middle of her kitchen, which doubles as a bakery in central Havana.<br /></p>
<p>An eagle (a Wahlberg's eagle, I think) spreads its wings while resting on a tree branch.</p>
<p>Fields near Obersdorf create an abstract intersecting pattern.</p>
<p>Balinese Hindus create these colourful <em>canang sari</em> baskets from palm leaves. They are left at temples, in front of homes, and in many other places as daily offerings.</p>
