Beyond the work

I take photographs when I can. Mostly buildings, light and colour, from places I have travelled to.

Colourful umbrellas hanging above a street Gondolas moored on blue water Carved stone arches in a courtyard, seen from below Blue and yellow walls forming sharp geometry Red sea cliffs and rock stacks over teal water The Pantheon dome with a beam of light through the oculus Yellow wall with a green-shuttered window and plants Two small boats on turquoise water Courtyard ceiling seen from below with a square of sky Tall cacti and palm trees against a blue sky Palm trees and horse carriages on a sunlit square Arched stone window looking over a town square Juice stall stacked with fruit at night Ancient brick and stone columns against clouds

All photographs on this page are mine.
