Monolith

Gustav Vigeland's memorable "Monolith" and surrounding sculptures in the park bearing the artist's name. It's just a few minutes walk from where I live, so I have taken many photographs here over the years, but this is one of my favourites because of the mix of figures -stone and real- and the barely visible but supremely grand seagull right on top of the month.

Quayside at Sundown

Warm evening on a Greek island, the fishing boats are in. Lots of colour and a soothing atmosphere.. summer is here!

Location: Samos, Greece

Kiss

A large sculpture (or statue) of an iconic image next to the USS Midway in San Diego bay. The sun is about to go down, but the clouds created a beautiful canopy to a passionate moment.

Location: San Diego, USA

Golden Orbs

I am always fascinated by street furniture, and how it subtly creates the unique character of different cities. These bollards in Warsaw appear almost to have oranges balanced on them. I liked the continuation of the orbs further down the street on the crossing lights, and the yellow hues further reflected on the nearby buildings.

Location: Warsaw, Poland

Laughing Policewomen

Changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Just about everyone else's cameras are pointed the other way, towards the palace, but I liked the cheerful interaction between these two mounted policewomen as much as the colourful pageant of the ceremony.

Location: London, England

The Homecoming

A school-ship in New England drawing near to its berth. It was a thrilling and unexpected spectacle, drawing dozens of people from the town to welcome the boat. Sadly the rigging is not swarming with seafarers, but the late-afternoon sky and the sailing boat itself were a magnificent sight.
