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, Rajasthan Family, 1984 - Judith and I slept in the small roofed structure on the left in this photograph, known as a 'de-la'. Water pipes, used to smoke tobacco, sit on the ground in front of the de-la.
Azerbaijan, Apples In Car, 2000 - This enterprising man was determined to take full advantage of the space his car had to offer in his effort to transport apples. Our car followed him for some time. When he pulled over, I asked him for a photo. I think he was proud of his achievement.

Sulawesi, Makassar Sunset, 2006 - Makassar is also known as Ujung Pandang, the capital of Sulawesi. As the sun went down, I had delays in setting up my camera. When the first photo was taken, the digital card was full, so this is the only one. Makassar is a large town. It is the gateway to Torajaland, a place with unusual customs and good coffee.
