Golden Orb

Queensland, Australia, March 2012: While on a recent holiday in Queensland I had a close call with one of these giant Golden Orb spiders. We’d stopped at the side of the road to stretch our legs when I nearly walked into one of their giant webs… They have a very nasty bite- though not fatal […]

Dalí

Figueres, Catalonia, Spain, Jan 2005: In early 2005 while on a break in Catalonia, I visited the Teatro Museo Dalí. The great surrealist Salvador Dali was born in the town of Figueres in 1904.

A lot of criticism was directed at the Irish government for allowing the US access to Shannon airport for the refueling of […]

UFO over London

London, England, 1997: I photographed this UFO low over the skies in South London back 1997. It was moving pretty fast and I’m not sure if there were any other confirmed sightings at the time or not.
