Cragway Trail
Probably my favorite trail on Grandfather Mountain. Very steep but short. The higher you go the better the view gets.

Mushrooms and Moss
Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina. One of the first photographs I ever shot with a digital camera, way back in 2003. Only 6 megapixels (standard for the time) but still makes great large prints.

Hey Big Saver!
Street scene near Shepherd's Bush, London. I love the random stuff that appears in various parts of the background in HDR photography (which I almost never use for extended dynamic range).

Brutalist Gothic
Liverpool Cathedral, despite its lack of concrete, always seems to me vaguely brutalist, at least from inside. From the outside is resembles how I imagined the prison of Azkaban from Harry Potter. An odd combination.

This is a sculpture in Salzburg, Austria, photographed from the inside (where it's supposed to be viewed). Pretty nice minimalist result, I think.
