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


<p>Timor-Leste's rainy season delivers another dramatic sky out of the blue, this time at Jesus Backside Beach – so named for being behind the large statue of Christ that overlooks Dili's seafront. These clouds emerged suddenly and with tremendous rain moments later, before dissipating just as quickly as they'd arrived.</p>
<p>A sweeping view at Dolphin Head, on South Carolina's Hilton Head Island. </p>
<p>A view of the Dolomites from the Alta Via Dolomiti trail, near Villnöß. </p>
<p>Looking down a street toward Munich's Frauenkirche.</p>
<p>Lichen slowly covering a stone statue at the Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, a major temple on Bali.</p>
<p>People gather on the tiered walls below Prague Castle to take in the view back over the city.</p>
<p>A pilgrimage chapel lashed with rain on Mount Ramelau (Tatamailau), the highest peak in Timor-Leste (and through the wonders of colonialism, also once 'in' Portugal). </p>
<p>Snow coats a row of homes along Kensal Town's First Avenue, with the Trellick Tower in the distance.</p>
