  • Photo: This sums up the city of Perth for me. I often went out on the Swan River in kayaks, and it was mornings like this that I cherish. There is the sun rising over the city; Kings Park, a jewel of urban bushland; iconic black swans on the river I love so much.
  • Photo: I spent most of the day hiking Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges and was sad to leave them. I drove down a random road and turned to look at the mountain once more in the fading light. This image with the eucalypts against the mountain at dusk speaks Australia to me.
  • Photo: I had been watching whales by myself all afternoon and was heading back to the car when I noticed the reflection of the sunset on St. Mary Inlet, part of a river that runs into the Southern Ocean. This concluded a beautiful afternoon of solitude and peace.
  • Photo: These orchids had opened one in front of the other, and I liked the unusual arrangement. It seemed to be flowers playing with symmetry--to anthropomorphize a bit. This was on a hike up a solid granite dome with plants scattered in depressions.

  • Photo: I took this picture in order to document the compact urban structure of Stockholm. Increased density and multi-use are examples of sustainable design. In this photo, there are multiple levels of activity that allow for mixed use. For example, the level under the traffic is where grocery stores could be found. Above are transportation routes and businesses.
  • Photo: This is a photo of a monument placed at the center of a traffic roundabout.

  • Photo: The air in China is not bad at all!
