San Vito lo Capo, Sicily, 2004: Keeping with the unintentional theme of “transport”… some bikes lined up in the North Western town of San Vito lo Capo. Spot the bright pink Fiat in the background. This part of Sicily is mafia central and incredibly scenic… Canon EOS 1N/28-135is
Pencarrow lighthouse (lwr), Wellington, NZ: Caught this one in a hundred shot of a dolphin “piloting” the Interislander ferry Kaitaki through the mouth of Wellington Harbour.

Cambodia, March 2001: At Phnom Penh’s derelict railway station, it took some persuasion to be allowed to purchase tickets south. The crowded train chugged along at a crawl- fast enough to feel like we were moving, but slow enough as to not have to stop if people wanted to get on… or off. Sensible travellers took the bus south, making the coast in a few hours. The train took up to 13 hours or more but was a lot more fun, particularly on the roof where the air was clear and the views superb. It wasn’t always the case. Up until the mid/late 1990′s this route was regularly mined and ambushed by the Khmer Rouge. Canon EOS 100/Sigma 28-105/Kodak Tri-X

Lake Kohangapiripiri, Wellington, New Zealand 2008. Lake Kohangapiripiri translates in Maori as a nest clinging very strongly. It was formed after the valley became blocked from the nearby sea by earthquakes lifting the coastal area. It is unique in being one of New Zealand’s last relatively unspoiled wetlands.
