PHOTOS

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


<p>The 'Friendship of Nations' fountain at Moscow's impressive VDNH grounds. Each golden statue represents one of the former republics in the Soviet Union. <br /></p> <p>The fountain is one of several standout attractions at the Soviet-era Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy (Выставка достижений народного хозяйства, abbreviated to ВДНХ, and translated to VDNH).</p><p>While I went with the colour version of this shot, the black and white brings out some interesting details (see below).</p>
<p>An elegant flat with improbably narrow top floors at the corner of Juncal and Montevideo. </p>
<p>A family slightly outnumbered by their contingent of matching dogs.</p>
<p>A cyclist passes a stationary cycle. </p>
<p>A spiral staircase in Vágur.</p>
<p>The sea goes dark at dusk.</p>
<p>A farmer tends to his terraced crops in central Timor-Leste's highlands. </p>
<p>Escalators in a Hong Kong shopping mall prove reminiscent of M.C. Escher's drawings.</p><p>Pardon the pun in the title. Had to be done.</p>
