PHOTOS

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


<p>Two people quite enjoying the seaside district of Stanley, Hong Kong.</p>
<p>Two girls explore their flood-damaged former neighbourhood just behind the national congress on the banks of the Paraguay River. Their homes were flooded a few weeks before Christmas in 1997, forcing their already struggling families to relocate to makeshift residences in a public square.</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>A sculpture with an impassive gaze watches the world go by.</p>
<p>A woman shields herself from one of Hong Kong's sudden, torrential rain storms.</p>
<p>The light from sunrise coating the coast of Suðuroy.</p>
<p>A cook works the kitchen as an evening wears on.</p>
<p>A view over Athens toward the Strefi hill, from the Acropolis.</p>
