The pictures that I venture to show you here are moments from across time and space.
Some images are glimpses of Africa happenings, or travel in Brazil and Oaxaca, Mexico.
Others, like the Arab dhows , are from documentary features. Some evoke Africa's wild beauty, others the unexpected variety of Portugal . In Spain , a brief look cuts from classic tradition to the new and astonishing Guggenheim museum, Bilbao. There are glimpses of China , the great Yangtze River, a peaceful Tienanmen Square. Here too a few pictures show the tiny enclave of Macau , now reverted to Chinese sovereignty after a 400-year link with Portugal.
