PHOTOS

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


<p>Looking down a street toward Munich's Frauenkirche.</p>
<p>It's a Jewish custom to leave a stone on a tomb as a symbol of mourning and memory. Here, a solitary stone was left on the grave of someone who died too young.<br /></p>
<p>A man in his boat in a Jakarta canal.</p>
<p>A caiman (yacare) rests in the Pantanal wetlands of western Brazil. The menacing pose is actually a way for the caiman to regulate its body temperature, although this photographer must admit it is a touch intimidating to get this close. Shot from a canoe somewhere in the Pantanal wetlands.<br /></p>
<p>A gondola slices through the waters of the Rio di San Salvador – notice how much of the slender hull is above water.</p>
<p>If I'm not mistaken, this is elephant is fairly old. The sunken temples are one sign it's lived quite a few decades, as is its slightly weathered appearance. (Please let me know if you can tell me more about this one's age and gender!)<br /></p>
<p>Marrakech's Jamaa el Fna is a central square that constantly whirls with activity. Here, cooks prepare meals at the lively food stalls.</p>
<p>A somewhat unorthodox take on Toronto's tallest tower.<br /></p>
