<p>A solitary figure headed somewhere on a cold night.</p>
<p>Vines and a tree gradually reclaim a colonial era building in Jakarta's historic core.</p>
<p>People take in the impressive view over Bergen and its harbour.<br /></p>
<p>'Smoke before life smokes you'. A healthy dose of nihilism on an electric box.</p>
<p>A cosy interior but no one to enjoy it.</p>
<p>Fields of varying patterns (and crop circles?!) near Stonehenge. </p>
<p>A beautiful elephant in the grass of the bushveld. Elephants use dirt and mud as a form of insect repellent and sunscreen.</p>
<p>Edgar Fonceca's concrete pyramidal cathedral was part of a wave of modernism in Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s (including a whole new capital city built on the ideals, Brasilia). In the foreground corner you can see a bit of another modernist stunner, the EDISE headquarters for Petrobras.</p>
