Speed of Light [2]'s photostream  

I'm a down-to-earth guy who loves telling stories and capturing a moment in time forever through photography. I have competed in local, national and international photography challenges and competitions. Some of my photography has been exhibited, blogged, printed, and published in nationally circulated and smaller local publications such as pamphlets, brochures, concert posters, post cards and calendars. I love animals, the outdoors, travelling, history, local traditions, architecture, languages, archaeology and the Cosmos. I enjoy learning about other cultures, people and parts of this planet. I am a spiritual person, and believe in a higher benevolent power. I try to show the beauty of simple things around me in some of my images. I have travelled the world and seen a lot of things good and bad.....and still love this world and the people in it. I am from the United States originally. At present I live in Essex, England with my wonderful family who are from Ireland. If you like my photos here on Flickr, then please feel free to check out images from my travels around this planet in Panoramio on Google Earth at:

I also have some older photos on display at TrekEarth, TrekLens, and TrekNature under the name Christor. Thanks for taking the time to find out more about me! Please leave comments and most especially LEAVE FEEDBACK on any of my photos to let me know what you think and help me to improve my photography. It is much appreciated.

One more thing - YOU MAY NOT COPY, DOWNLOAD, PRINT, BLOG, PUBLISH, OR IN ANY WAY USE ANY OF THE IMAGES IN WHOLE OR IN PART THAT ARE CONTAINED IN MY PHOTOSTREAM (PAST OR PRESENT) WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM MYSELF IN ADVANCE. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING. If you do not take me seriously, and think I am bluffing there is a graphics company in Essex and a postcard company in Kent that both found out how serious I take breech of copyright. It would be too bad if the same happened to you. I am a very reasonable guy, and donate images often to not-for-profit organisations and good causes. Just ask me first , and you will find I am a nice guy.
