PHOTOS

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


<p>Two giraffes browsing for a meal. They're considered 'browsers' as they eat leaves, rather than grazing on grasses.</p>
<p>Perquín, a town in the Morazán department of El Salvador, was a key stronghold of the FMLN guerrillas during the Salvadoran civil war of the 1980s. Today it hosts a museum dedicated to their revolutionary efforts.</p>
<p>Skylights and the zig-zagging roof at the Arminius Markthalle, a covered market dating from the 1890s.</p>
<p>Clay roof tiles on a farm house that likely date from the Ottoman period. They've seen many scorching summers and freezing winters.<br /></p>
<p>A bustling market in a Guangzhou alley.</p>
<p>Contrasting styles at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a Buddhist temple complex in Kowloon. <br /></p>
<p>A beautiful winter day on the beach, complemented by wispy clouds</p>
<p>Wildebeests walk in single file to hide their numbers, maybe. <br /></p>
