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.

Seram, Suku Terasing, Zarah, 2006 - Zarah was one of the women that arrived with the Suku Terasing. There were about 15 people in all. The chief did not come. We were told it was because he had a bad leg. Zarah was the daughter of Mateus, a man that lived half in and half out of civilization. Mateus had married into the Suku Terasing. Zarah was a rather striking woman.
Cape Verde, Sal, View From Monte Grande, 2006 - I took this photograph from near the top of Monte Grande. Espargos is off to the far right of the scene, invisible in the haze caused by dust and sand. I was impressed with the scenic beauty of Sal on my second visit, where on my first I remembered it as boring. The difference was, and usually is, getting out on foot. Walking is usually the best way to see a place.
