PHOTOS

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


<p>Timor-Leste's rainy season delivers another dramatic sky out of the blue, this time at Jesus Backside Beach – so named for being behind the large statue of Christ that overlooks Dili's seafront. These clouds emerged suddenly and with tremendous rain moments later, before dissipating just as quickly as they'd arrived.</p>
<p>A giraffe and a zebra share a moment.</p>
<p>The NYPD blue are quick to turn out in defence of the white collars of Wall Street. Here, police film, observe, and later arrest peaceful protestors outside the doors of the New York Stock Exchange.</p>
<p>The starry night near Parey.<br /></p>
<p>A view over the Val di Funes toward the famous Odle group of peaks in the Dolomites.<br /></p>
<p>A cosy interior but no one to enjoy it.</p>
<p>A sculpture with an impassive gaze watches the world go by.</p>
<p>A miniature forest grows in a tree stump that resembles the jutting peaks of the Dolomites, where this photo was taken.<br /></p>
