Old town pillbox. Dubrovnik, March 2009

Looking out from one of the towers onto the old town of Dubrovnik.
A beautiful place to spend a few days; stay at the Bellevue Hotel.

Recoleta shadows. Buenos Aires, July 2007

Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires is very photogenic. The morning
light throws some interesting shadows on the grand mausoleums.

Guard change. Athens, May 2008

At the daily changing of the guard ceremony in Athens.
Quite a procedure, and very watchable.

Stari Most. Mostar, March 2009

The majestic (new) old bridge that connects the two sides
of Mostar. See Lucy Blakstad's marvellous documentary.

The Cape. Cape Town, Feb 2003

A view from Table Mountain to the harbour in Cape Town.
The time of my life at the Cricket World Cup.

Mud bricks. Lima, June 2007

A close-up of sun-dried bricks at Huaca Pucllana outside Lima.
Marginally more interesting than the taxi ride to get there.

Shipwreck. Queensland, Aug 1997

The much-photographed wreck of the S.S. Maheno on
Fraser Island. An abundance of sand, wrecks and dingoes.

Mishghana on the ledge. Tigray, Oct 2008

Our guide on the entrance ledge to the amazing painted
church of Abuna Yemata Guh. There's a 250m drop to the
left, and my heart was racing. We didn't stay there long.

Copper roof. Tallinn, Sept 2007

The roof of St. Olav's Church in Tallinn, looking down from
the tower. Once the tallest building in the world, apparently.

Heelside carve. California, Feb 2008

Perfect light on the debris of Tim's big turn.
The end of a big week after a Tahoe storm.

Penny for... Penshurst, Nov 1999

This Guy Fawkes bonfire was HUGE, and was more spectacular
than the fireworks that followed. At Penshurst in Kent.

The Boys. Vancouver, April 2009

Two black flatcoats, finally standing still.
Joxer and Booker at their finest.

Joe falls. Harrison Lake, Aug 2006

Another lucky 35mm shot. The canoe tipped after Betty
had jumped out. A fun weekend at Harrison Lake.

Flypast. London, June 2002

Concorde and the Red Arrows at the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
I used to love hearing Concorde fly overhead;
no other commercial aircraft sounded anything like it.

Painted monasteries. Suceviţa, Aug 1999

Near the Ukrainian border there are a series of stunning
painted monasteries. This one is at Sucevita, and is from
the late 16th century. Well worth a visit.

Valley bridge. Nikšić, March 2009

This bridge is just outside Niksic, where they make some
good beer. The area was really deserted, so I stood
in the middle of the road to take this.

Rainbow lorikeets. Queensland, Aug 1997

Inquisitive little birds on Great Keppel Island off the coast
of Queensland. Kind of like a budgie but more colourful.

Cristo Rei. Lisbon, Aug 2000

Looking up 100m to Christ's left hand on the Cristo Rei statue
outside Lisbon. A melancholy statue for a melancholy place.
