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.

Faroe Islands, Waterfall on Cliff near Vestmanna, 2000 - In my diary, I wrote, "Seeing the cliffs on the coast near Vestmanna were just too incredible for camera or description, truly one of the greatest sights I have ever seen." The grandeur was hard to capture in a photograph from the boat. Here a cascade of water falls from the bottom of an immense cliff.
