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.

Ambon, Back Of The Becak, 2007 - In Ambon and all over Indonesia and other parts of Asia, the becak (pronounced be-chak) is used as a means of transportation. It is a three wheel bicycle, driven from behind. In Indonesia's many cities, one can find countless becak drivers waiting for a fare. Tourists are likely to be asked to pay as much as a taxi._Prov,_Monk,_2010,_IMG_4804-700x1050.jpg)

Madagascar, Lemur Close Up, 2003 - In one day of lemur camera-hunting at Ranomafana, we were not dissappointed. I mother and her young seemed just as curious about us as we were about them. When I took this photograph, she was a mere four feet away.
