This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

South Georgia, Gritviken, Jeff Shea Top Of Peak Above Gritviken, 2006 - I avoided going on the tour of Gritviken. We had been on the ship for days, and I needed some exercise. The peak towering up above the harbor was the perfect solution. The last few feet required me to crawl up steep rock. It felt exposed, perhaps partially because of the wind. I was very late, as I was supposed to be back at the harbor at 6p and it was already 530p. There was no time to set up the tripod. I held the camera out from my face and took a shot.
