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


<p>Lago Escondido at dusk.</p>
<p>An idyllic cabin in the hills above Árnafjørður. </p>
<p>A Stolperstein (stumbling stone) embedded in the pavement outside a flat in Berlin. <br /></p> <p>Begun in the 1990s by German artist Gunter Demnig, the Stolpersteine mark the last place of residence of those persecuted by the Nazi regime and share basic details of that person's life. Over 75,000 Stolpersteine have been placed in numerous countries, and the project continues. This one reads:</p> <p><em>Here lived Gertrud Baruch.<br />Born in 1876.<br />Deported 24 Oct 1941 to Łódź / Litzmannstadt. <br />Murdered 4 May 1942.</em><br /> </p>
<p>A man lost in his thoughts on a tram in central Sofia.</p>
<p>Russia's largest hotel dates from the late 1970s, when it was built as part of the facilities for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. There are over 1750 rooms in the Cosmos, which still operates today.<br /></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 small crowd watches their neighbours playing football, somewhere in Timor-Leste's east. </p>
