PHOTOS

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


<p>A small crowd watches their neighbours playing football, somewhere in Timor-Leste's east. </p>
<p>An elegant flat with improbably narrow top floors at the corner of Juncal and Montevideo. </p>
<p>A woman shields herself from one of Hong Kong's sudden, torrential rain storms.</p>
<p>A boat beckons, a cottage calls... Many homes in the area come replete with a boathouse. </p>
<p>An eerie spectacle created by farmers burning their fields by night. The technique can improve soil fertility and kill pests, but also emits greenhouse gases and air pollution.<br /></p>
<p>Encountered on a central Sofia side street. </p>
<p>A wave looms during afternoon showers in the waters off Jaco. </p>
<p>This plant's bright orange flowers almost serve as a warning about the substantial thorns. Spotted in the Christoffelpark, a nature reserve home to Curaçao's highest point.</p>
