PHOTOS

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


<p>A view of the trees and peaks near Rila Monastery. </p>
<p>Lago Escondido at dusk.</p>
<p>The momentarily forlorn faces of shoppers at a market in Rio de Janeiro.<br /></p>
<p>Imperial Chinese architecture frequently featured porcelain figures arranged in rows atop the gabled roofs. The large dragon is said to represent imperial power, driving away a menagerie of evil spirits. These were shot in the Forbidden City.</p>
<p>Southern yellow-billed hornbills typically forage on the ground for food. This one's expression suggests the foraging wasn't so good that day.</p>
<p>Gentle waves entering the cosy cove of Playa Jeremi.</p>
<p>A pleasing clash of styles at the transition between Chinatown and the Central business district. Amoy Street is full of Singapore's characteristic shophouses, which typically combine commercial activities (shops, restaurants) on the ground floor with residences above.</p>
<p>These trees are shaped by the winds that come in off the Atlantic, as well as the sandy soil they took root in.</p>
