PHOTOS

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


<p>Hong Kong has the world's best skyline (and as a former Chicagoan and New Yorker I can say that). By night, the city's standout skyscrapers illuminate in a choreography of colour while thousands of flats add a galaxy of twinkling lights. Fast moving weather patterns and the faint outline of the Peak further enhance the scene. Here's just some of that mesmerising vista of Central shot from Kowloon.</p>
<p>The stairwell as seen from the courtyard of this modest hotel in San Telmo. It was my temporary home when I moved to Buenos Aires in 1997 and started my search for a flat. I love this picture.</p>
<p>Three clever lionesses make a roadblock to allow their cubs to cross the road.</p>
<p>Low-hanging branches and leaves form a quiet chamber in the St.-Elisabeth-Kirchhof, a cemetery in Berlin. </p>
<p>A hut in the mountains en route to Ramelau, with the dramatic weather of the rainy season appearing again!</p>
<p>Scenery along a trail toward Crusc and other peaks in the Dolomites.</p>
<p>Sheep graze near Cape Arkona, on the German island of Rügen.</p>
<p>A gracefully dilapidated house still shows its charms.</p>
