PHOTOS

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


<p>A person stops momentarily on a rainy morning along Bergen's waterfront.</p>
<p>This zebra foal has just about mastered standing on its own four feet. A nearby wildebeest seems unmoved by the achievement.</p>
<p>A weather-worn wooden cross in the British Cemetery on Corfu. </p>
<p>Passenger, pigeons, and historic photos at a Berlin station.<br /></p>
<p>A solitary tree in the vast spaces of Kruger National Park.</p>
<p>Three African penguins eye an interloping seagull with seeming suspicion. Will they get along?</p>
<p>A gang of miniature Beethovens wait to be placed in formation by a worker. Part of Bonn's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of its famous son's birth, the Beethoven statues were later put up for 'adoption'. I like mine very much. </p>
<p>Wildebeests walk in single file to hide their numbers, maybe. <br /></p>
