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.

India, Calcutta, Scorpions, 1984 - On the streets of Calcutta, some men kept these scorpions in baskets. I assume they were for sale, possibly for some purpose, though I cannot imagine what for.

Ascension, Looking Down, 2002 - We hiked to the high point of Ascension Island. This photograph was taken on the way down. Ascension is occupied by the US and British military.
