PHOTOS

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


<p>A solitary cabin in the pastures near Í Botni, on the southernmost island of the Faroes. </p>
<p>Gentle waves entering the cosy cove of Playa Jeremi.</p>
<p>The momentarily forlorn faces of shoppers at a market in Rio de Janeiro.<br /></p>
<p>A lioness and her cub eye the photographer. </p>
<p>Snow-coated branches intermingle ad infinitum.</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 view of Jakarta's very modern Istiqlal Mosque, one of the largest in the world. It dates from the late 1970s and its style is very much of its era.</p>
<p>Traffic crossing the Queensboro Bridge.</p>
