A worker at Sandakan Airport, Borneo, deep in conversation amidst a stained glass wall of colour and under a red bubble to boot! I love the quiet moments that can transform into something else when you travel to foreign lands. The worker becomes an integral part of the landscape: blending seamlessly to form a life mosaic.
Figures on the snow clad Great Wall of China
Diyabakir is a city in eastern Anatolia….inhabited predominantly by Kurdish people. It is a colourful vibrant place- the entire city is surrounded with a great wall originally constructed in Roman times. The wall is approximately 6 KM in circumference…and can apparently be seen from outer space. One of the locals helped us climb on top of the wall- which was all of 30ft high. (certainly not for the feint-hearted) - the views across the Tigris River towards the Mesopotamian plains was worth the effort…. This image was taken early in the morning… The houses outside the wall perimeter form an alley way with the wall on the right

I shot this lovely picture in Moulay Idris in Morocco with my rather tetchy Holga camera which uses 120mm film. Holgas are loved by photographers for the erratic results they produce and the interesting speckling which the plastic lens creates and random light leaks and vignetting….I know this doesn’t sound so great in this age of digital perfection, but it’s actually a very charming effect and Holga images are increasingly popular. So please note, that this is not a 100% ‘clean’ image and that’s all part of the charm!
My home town in Northern Ireland.
St Carthage Catholic Church: Silverton 25 km west of Broken Hill in outback NSW, Australia. Built in 1886, St Carthage stands alone on the rising slope in what was once a thriving mining town. Today Silverton is known as a ghost town. I sometimes wonder if it represents a parable of the Spiritual state of Australia. I used a pallet knife rather than a brush to give depth and texture.

Before digital times I made this picture of a cemetery in Spain. It’s scanned from a print, under- and overexposed in a photo editor and made HDR in Photomatix. Canon 1000N

The Alhambra – Arabic: literally means “the red one”; the complete name is “Qal’at al-Hambra”, which means “The red fortress”) is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish rulers of Granada in southern Spain occupying a hilly terrace on the southeastern border of the city of Granada. Once the residence of the Muslim rulers of Granada and their court, the Alhambra is now one of Spain’s major tourist attractions exhibiting the country’s most famous Islamic architecture, together with Christian 16th century and later interventions in buildings and gardens that marked its image as it can be seen today. Its most westerly feature is the alcazaba (citadel); a strongly fortified position. The rest of the plateau comprises a number of palaces, enclosed by a relatively weak fortified wall, with thirteen towers, some defensive and some providing vistas for the inhabitants.
