PHOTOS

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


<p>A cemetery in the mountains in Timor-Leste's west. The country's Roman Catholicism is a legacy of centuries of Portuguese colonial rule. </p>
<p>A view of the high-rise district of Guangzhou (Canton), China's main southern city.</p>
<p>Reflections bounce sunlight onto the bricks and characteristic fire escapes of some New York apartments.</p>
<p>Hong Kong has the world's best skyline (and as a former Chicagoan and New Yorker I can say that). By night, the city's standout skyscrapers illuminate in a choreography of colour while thousands of flats add a galaxy of twinkling lights. Fast moving weather patterns and the faint outline of the Peak further enhance the scene. Here's just some of that mesmerising vista of Central shot from Kowloon.</p>
<p>A view over Munich. Shot from the Monopteros in the Englischer Garten park, the city's skyline is punctuated by church spires.</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>
<p>Portrait of Aynur.</p>
<p>This cultural centre on the banks of the Spree was designed by Hugh Stubbins and built in 1957. Its distinctive shape earned it an odd nickname: the pregnant oyster.</p>
