PHOTOS

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


<p>The light from sunrise coating the coast of Suðuroy.</p>
<p>Soaring cliffs and crashing waves at Sumba, the southernmost village of the Faroe Islands.<br /></p>
<p>Dramatic skies enhance the view from Kallur back toward the sea stacks off Eysturoy.</p>
<p>A woman washing clothes on a winter morning in Langa. </p>
<p>Empty kegs provide impromptu seating as the night wears on in Dublin's Dame Lane.</p>
<p>Designed by Viktor Andreyev (who also did the Hotel Cosmos just down the road), this 25-storey tower block dates from 1968 and is something of a Moscow landmark. The trees block the stilts that give it its unusual name, the House on Chicken Legs (Дом на ножках in Russian). </p>
<p>A detail of the crumbling masonry that once enabled the Great Wall to traverse the terrain of imperial China's border. I understand these sections have been restored since this photograph was taken.<br /></p>
<p>A person enjoys the spectacular views over Cape Town and the ocean from atop Table Mountain. The sky was amazing that day.</p>
