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

<p>There was something pleasing about this pub ceiling in London.<br /></p>
<p>The spiral staircase of a modern flat takes on a different air by night.</p>

<p>Berlin's Olympic Stadium was roofless when it hosted the 1936 Games, but during renovations in 2004 a seemingly floating roof was added to cover all 74,475 seats in the stadium (which, despite its age, still has Germany's highest all-seater capacity). The roof conceals clever lighting that creates no discernible shadows on the pitch.</p>
