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


<p>A promising path?</p>
<p>A pleasing clash of styles at the transition between Chinatown and the Central business district. Amoy Street is full of Singapore's characteristic shophouses, which typically combine commercial activities (shops, restaurants) on the ground floor with residences above.</p>
<p>A view over Munich. Shot from the Monopteros in the Englischer Garten park, the city's skyline is punctuated by church spires.</p>
<p>A street in San Telmo wakes up with a bit of a hangover.</p>
<p>A pretty corner store, no longer in use, somewhere in western Uruguay.</p>
<p>Contrasting styles at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a Buddhist temple complex in Kowloon. <br /></p>
<p>Tents at the Theresienwiese – home to Munich's Oktoberfest – reflected in a puddle on a still morning.<br /></p>
<p>A close-up of two giraffes crossing the bushveld. </p>
