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


<p>A view out into the Venice lagoon on a winter day.<br /></p>
<p>Set in a beautiful walled botanic garden, this stunning house was conceived by the French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s. Architecturally, it is a unique combination of local Moorish touches, art deco flourishes, and more than a little of the (then) new school of Modernism. The distinctive blue colour bears Majorelle's name. </p>
