PHOTOS

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


<p>Shoppers at a sprawling market in Dili, shortly after a rainstorm.</p>
<p>Argentine trade unionists rally amid a forest of flags at the Plaza del Congreso. </p>
<p>'From the forests we rise like trees. We are river, sun, and wind. Freedom for the Mapuche political prisoners'. A pointed stencil in Santiago.</p>
<p>An explosion of colour in the autumn leaves.</p>
<p>One facade of the towering gothic cathedral in Salisbury, which dates back to 1220. Its spire, added later and peeking out in this picture, climbs to an incredible 123 metres — a veritable 16th Century skyscraper.</p>
<p>Fields of varying patterns (and crop circles?!) near Stonehenge. </p>
<p>Three clever lionesses make a roadblock to allow their cubs to cross the road.</p>
<p>Snow, cold, and the early hour make for sparse traffic on Manhattan's Third Avenue.</p>
