PHOTOS

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


<p>A formica (or similar synthetic) table run through with forms from nature. </p>
<p>Hannover's landmark Anzeiger-Hochhaus is one of Germany's first high-rise buildings. Clad in brick over an underlying steel frame, it dates from 1927 and was designed by Fritz Höger. It has long housed the editorial offices of local media outlets, and survived the aerial bombardment that leveled much of the city centre during the Second World War. </p>
<p>The unique contours of the Munich Olympic Stadium, designed by architect Günther Behnisch and engineer Frei Otto for the summer games of 1972. The famous suspended roof — a vast tent of glass panels held aloft by steel cables and pillars — still looks futuristic almost 50 years after it was erected. </p>
<p>It's a Jewish custom to leave a stone on a tomb as a symbol of mourning and memory. Here, a solitary stone was left on the grave of someone who died too young.<br /></p>
<p>Sparse traffic on Avenida Santa Fe, shot from nine storeys above.<br /></p>
<p>Potential spoiler for that one person who doesn't know the plot point.</p>
<p>People gather on the tiered walls below Prague Castle to take in the view back over the city.</p>
