Natural History
The start of my 3 week work trip around the world, and had a few days of down time before the storm of airports and lecture halls to take in some Museums around London with my wife.
Darwin's castle, and home to most of his research and findings.
On the top floor, looking at the far wall. Each gilded fresco in the ceiling that represent every discovery. The stone primates that dot the stone pillars supporting each arch that draws your eyes across the iron leaf stencils of the frame work.. this building is stunning.

Hong Kong Vertigo
On the roof of the 60 story building where I was working.
I lured my acrophobic boss up to the roof with me, who watched in terror, witnessing my energetic shift from the safe vantage point along the railing, to the exposed perch that I knew would give me the most direct view down.
Laying flat, with my legs twined around a pole for balance, I stretched as far over the edge as possible for a unique view of Wan Chai District below.

White Gloves
Guangzhou Train Station, on my way back to Hong Kong.
Still in shock from a solid single day of exposure to the 'burbs of Guangzhou for work. The train back to HK was much more authentic to the times of China's past. I must return to Guangzhou, as I spent most my time too gripped by culture shock to invoke my hands to pull the camera to my face. Because of this motor malfunction, most of my images are leaving the city.
The ride home was spent with my forehead on the window, watching China evolve into Hong Kong.

Two Glass Workers
The one thing that you will see all over China, is construction to support the growing economy.
What you will also see, is that most of the scaffolding is bamboo, and tied together with either twine, or the more modern plastic zip-tie.
This image, taken at the central train station looking directly up at the dome above the entry. My thought was that they most likely promote safety by the age old 'be careful' rule of construction.

April Snow in Red Square
I woke on April 6th to rain. It was my last day in Moscow.
I grabbed my camera, and made my way through the Metro to Red Square. When I got out of the station at the square, I noticed the rain was slowing down, as if everything was entering slow motion. It was the rain forming into snow before me. The one thing I wanted to happen, had.
Snow in Red Square.
