<p>A quiet afternoon at the market in the highland town of Ossu.<br /></p> <p>The rustic structure features a functional vaulted roof covering the main trading area (useful given the torrential rainfall in the country) with a facade that mixes shapes from vernacular local architecture with a tinge of art deco, fashionable with the then-colonial ruler.</p>

<p>Sunlight slices through forests beneath the Odle peaks.</p>
<p>Snow-coated branches intermingle ad infinitum.</p>
<p>A view over the district of Lyulin, shot through the warped glass of a window.</p>
<p>Late autumn light hits a facade in central Berlin.</p>
