PHOTOS

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


<p>A female Steenbok looks up from browsing for tasty grass. Steenboks are a small species of antelope. </p>
<p>A waterfall about a day's hike north of Upsete, in the Grånosmyrane reserve in central Norway.</p>
<p>A view out to sea over the rooftops of Casablanca. The preponderance of satellite dishes is striking.<br /></p>
<p>A commuter catches some some shut-eye on one of Buenos Aires' vintage subway carriages. The system dates from 1913, while the wooden cars on Lí­nea A were built only a few years later and are still in use.</p>
<p>An elephant and her calf take water. Elephants can drink over 200 litres in one session – proving their superiority to humans, if you ask me.</p>
<p>An arch of stars stretches across the heavens in a dark sky area in Germany.<br /></p>
<p>A wave looms during afternoon showers in the waters off Jaco. </p>
<p>Late autumn light hits a facade in central Berlin.</p>
