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


<p>The starry night near Parey.<br /></p>
<p>Workers laying cobbles in Sibiu. </p>
<p>A wave looms during afternoon showers in the waters off Jaco. </p>
<p>A dormant scoreboard by Trinity College Dublin's rugby pitch. Sadly no action that day.</p>
<p>A cape starling scavenges on the ground, allowing us a peek at its incredibly fashion-forward colours.</p>
<p>An inquisitive stare from a sheep in the village of Hov. Sheep farming is a major industry in the Faroe Islands.</p>
<p>A mock road sign comments on U.S. gun culture.</p>
<p>A woman and her dog take in the dramatic waters while crossing the Maria Kristina zubia (bridge) in Donostia. The Urumea river flows into the Bay of Biscay just beyond those buildings, and on this winter day winds off the Atlantic were driving waves well upstream. <br /></p>
