This section is neither of man nor landscape, but of man in his own landscape. Buildings, villages, towns and cities all play a part in our daily lives right across the world from the United States to Singapore. Every minute of the day people are going about their business in much the same way as they did yesterday and will do tomorrow. Let me share my experiences with you...

Zanzibar has been on my wish list
for a long time now. Even the name conjures up visions of exotic spices and white
palm-fringed sandy beaches amidst the azure blue Indian Ocean. It was certainly not a
disappointment when I got there and this is one of my favourite images from my visit in
July 1998.
The Potala Palace in Lhasa
dominates the city and stands high on a natural rock overlooking both the Tibetan and
Chinese parts. October is a good time to visit as many nomads come down from the high
pastures and the air is clear and crisp.
Of the four cities I visited in E
Australia, I found Melbourne was my favourite. It is a clean modern city with some
interesting architecture and a pleasant climate.The image you see here I feel conveys the
dynamic atmosphere of the place with Flinders St Station against a background of
skyscrapers.
Las Vegas has got to be one of
the most glitzy, lively, happening places in the world. There are casinos, hotels and
shops to relieve you of your money, 25 hours a day.
The west coast of
Ireland is such a relaxing and unspoilt area with friendly and easy going people. May is a
particularly good time to go when the rhododendrons are in full bloom and everywhere looks
fresh and clean.
A common feature of Irish towns and cities
is the brightly coloured buildings and numerous pubs where dancing, singing and merriment
are enjoyed until the small hours.
Singapore is always
expanding - hotels and yet more shopping centres spring up almost every other week to
maximize the small space available on the island. Yet scattered amongst them are many fine
temples, mosques and churches. Here I wanted to contrast the fine detail on the temple
with the rather bland high rise towers behind.
Often a small part
of an overall scene tells more of a story than the whole. Here this simple image portrays
a comon form of transport used by the people of Tanzania as well as a little of the
atmosphere of the place.
