PHOTOS

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


<p>A view over the rooftops of Kowloon, near the Hong Kong Observatory. The blur results from condensation on the lens due to a rapid transition from a climate-controlled interior to Hong Kong's humid exterior.</p>
<p>A tall oak and other trees coated just perfectly during a rare Berlin snowfall. <br /></p> <p>As I took this picture, a woman walking her dog passed by and said 'No one will ever believe those pictures are from Berlin'. Fair point.</p>
<p>Imperial Chinese architecture frequently featured porcelain figures arranged in rows atop the gabled roofs. The large dragon is said to represent imperial power, driving away a menagerie of evil spirits. These were shot in the Forbidden City.</p>
<p>A mural in San Salvador depicts the suffering and scale of the 1979-1992 civil war that had concluded in a peace agreement just a few years earlier.</p>
<p>The light from sunrise coating the coast of Suðuroy.</p>
<p>A person stops momentarily on a rainy morning along Bergen's waterfront.</p>
<p>A woman drawing a bow. Sculpture outside the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.<br /></p>
<p>The subway and some skyline reflect in the mirrored windows of new office blocks in Queensboro Plaza.</p>
