Graceful Masai giraffes, the tallest subspecies of giraffe. It was truly spectacular to see them up close.
I seldom take selfies, but the first day of spring necessitated it. The structure above, is the display of the Pointer Boat designed and built but John Cockburn in 1850.
The pyramids are not really that interesting in pictures - and I happen to think that they aren't that intriguing in real life, either. I mean, they are obviously very big and have lasted for millennia, and construction-wise they are nothing short of visionary. But going to the Gizah plateau and seeing the sphinx and the pyramids - the obligatory sights - was interesting, but not at all that exciting, really. Walking the ten kilometres around them yielded a good sense of scale, as well as a feeling of the vastness of the desert beyond, and a camel ride is always good fun.
Apart from that, it's funny how close the pyramids are to the city of Cairo, which can be seen in the background on this photo.
Space Shuttle Endeavor flew over Tucson on it's way to Edwards AFB. This is the view from my work parking lot. It went RIGHT overhead.
I can't even explain what might be going on here, except to say that performers of all kinds are found on Strøget, the longest pedestrian shopping area in Europe.
St. Patrick's Cathedral is a very different sight in the concrete, steel and glass jungle that is Manhattan.

At sunst on the spring and fall equinox the setting sun will dip below the horizon in the center of the slot.
I was inspired by photographer Lucy Reynolds to create this series of heavily manipulated images. I photographed the locations in a nearby village and although I love the simplistic beauty of untouched photographs, where the skill of the photographer makes the image, I really enjoy crafting these images to create a mysterious story using Adobe Photoshop.
The Presider's Chair in the Los Angeles Cathedral. The Presider’s Chair is used when the Celebrant Priest of the Eucharist is other than the Diocesan Bishop.
Liturgical artist Jefferson Tortorelli designed and constructed the Cathedra, Ambo, Ambry and Presider's Chair for the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Tortorelli's designs are executed in wood, metal and stone. Age old techniques of joinery are employed -- eliminating the need for glue or mechanical fasteners. All finishes are a special blend of oils, developed centuries ago, which invite the touch of the hand.
