<p>A pair of hikers heading toward the Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel peak, visible during a brief clearing in the mists and clouds that were whipping around up there. </p>

Thanks for visiting. This website features my photography, writing, and a bit about me.

PHOTOS

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


<p>From a narrow trail, a view southward toward the Odle group of peaks and beyond.</p>
<p>Jamaica's Usain Bolt blazes to a new (and still) world record time of 9.58 seconds in the men's 100m sprint at the 12th IAAF World Championships in Berlin's Olympiastadion. Yes, it's hard to take pictures of people that run this fast...<br /></p>
<p>A scene along a trail in the Isarco valley, near Sciaves / Schabs.</p>
<p>Reflections bounce sunlight onto the bricks and characteristic fire escapes of some New York apartments.</p>
<p>Builders on a scaffold working on restorations in the Rock of Cashel complex.</p>
<p>Scenery along a trail toward Crusc and other peaks in the Dolomites.</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>Blinding light forms a sort of cross in one of Moscow's pedestrian underpasses. These tunnels are a consequence of the span of the city's monumental boulevards.<br /></p>
