PHOTOS

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


<p>Cherry blossoms in bloom in Berlin. <br /></p> <p>The swirling background comes from a fantastic old lens, the Asahi SMC Takumar 135/f3.5. </p>
<p>An interior shot of St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow's Red Square, peering up one of the octagonal spires capped by the church's famous onion domes. <br /></p><p>Dating from the mid 16th Century, the structure is a unique oddity – an asymmetric labyrinth of chapels and corridors on the interior, with ten cylindrical domed towers each bearing their own signature style on the exterior – that has long been a symbol of Russia. </p>
<p>A limestone wall bakes in the Adriatic sun of Corfu.</p>
<p>People walk along the fondamenti either side of the Canale di Cannaregio, one of Venice's larger canals. The wake from passing boats washes up over the walkways. </p>
<p>Schoolkids on an outing in Cork.</p>
<p>New high-rises crowd a more traditional Toronto building at the corner of Queen and Church streets.</p>
<p>A couple cut through a glistening Marienplatz, Munich.</p>
<p>A woman dashes toward the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a striking and strange Soviet take on post-modernism by architect Yuri Platonov.</p>
