If a picture is really worth a thousand words why do all these photo sharing websites have description fields? I prefer to do my writing on my own domain. Because I'm long-winded I guess. If your interested the piece that's mean to accompany the photos in this set is entitled Vasco de Gama Exhumed.

If you browse through enough of my photos you'll notice that I seem to be fascinated with repeating patterns. I actually never realized that myself until I had all the images on here and started looking at them in succession. I dunno. I like to photograph patterns, no idea why.

Fishing nets of Chinese design, which seem impossibly complicated. Apparently they are some sort of cantilevered device which require four or five people to operate. If you'd like to learn more, have look at the accompanying travelogue entry: Vasco de Gama Exhumed.

Wherever I go I seem to find myself in a graveyard at some point. And I don't even like goth music.

If you dislike birds (this means you Nancy), don't ever go to India. These crow things are aggressive and obnoxious. But I actually grew quite fond of them eventually.
