PHOTOS

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


<p>A view of Jakarta's very modern Istiqlal Mosque, one of the largest in the world. It dates from the late 1970s and its style is very much of its era.</p>
<p>A man thinks while drinking pulque, a traditional Mesoamerican indigenous drink made from the maguey plant.</p>
<p>An alley in the twilight.</p>
<p>Teenage prank? Threat? A black handprint on a wall raises unfortunate allusions to the old <em>mano nera</em> extortion tactics.</p>
<p>Historic homes in Quebec City.</p>
<p>This little guy (he is a male) was up atop Table Mountain. Such a colourful species!</p>
<p>A farmer carries some of his harvest through terraced paddies.</p>
<p>A quiet (abandoned?) cabin in the forests of Askøy, an island off Norway's coast near Bergen.</p>
