Typical Street Scene in Hanoi

Young Vietnamese girl, outside the Temple of Literature in Hanoi

These huge stone masks were the highlight of a trip to the Kohunlich ruins in the Temple of the Masks.near Costa Maya, Mexico.

Visit to Tam Coc ("3 caves") near Ninh Binh City, Vietnam ("Halong Bay on the Land") -- jagged limestone outcrops, reached via poled sampan

This wall design,created entirely out of mud, is in a room of one of the palaces in the Chan Chan UNESCO site near Trujillo, Peru.

This is one of my favorite shots taken in a temple at Angkor Watt because the design and reflective spiritual mood remind me of a mandala.

Picture was taken standing at the edge of a glacier runoff in Alaska. I thought this scene reminded me of a modern painting.
