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


<p>A goatherd in central Bulgaria.</p>
<p>A pair of visitors to the cemetery at St. Olaf's Church, a small and centuries-old parish.</p>
<p>Graves interweave within the constraining walls of Marrakech's Miaara, a Jewish cemetery in the Mellah district (once the Jewish quarter, when the local population was larger).</p>
<p>A view over Munich. Shot from the Monopteros in the Englischer Garten park, the city's skyline is punctuated by church spires.</p>
<p>A beautiful winter day on the beach, complemented by wispy clouds</p>
<p>A group of kids very amused to have their picture taken. <br /></p><p>Part of the graffiti reads 'Das dores boavida', which can translate as 'From pain, a good life'.<br /></p>
<p>Three African penguins eye an interloping seagull with seeming suspicion. Will they get along?</p>
