PHOTOS

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


<p>A view over the village of Oyrarbakki. </p>
<p>An old man drags timber back toward his village at the foot of the Balkan Mountains. <br /></p>
<p>Better known for its soaring skyline and manic lifestyle, Hong Kong also retains aspects of its pre-colonial Chinese tradition, particularly in the New Territories connected to the mainland. This courtyard home called Tai Fu Tai dates from 1865, not long after the British had seized Hong Kong Island but before they leased the New Territories from China. It is an outstanding example of 19th Century Chinese architecture. <br /></p>
<p>A street scene in old Havana.</p>
<p>A street scene in the former colonial core of Jakarta, known as Batavia under the Dutch.</p>
<p>A walk in a forest reveals a sort of swamp amid the trees. <br /></p>
<p>The spectacular Véu da Noiva (Bridal Veil) waterfall in the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park. The falls drop a dramatic 86 metres into a perfect pool...</p>
<p>Late autumn light hits a facade in central Berlin.</p>
