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.

Slovenia, Kuzma Prov, Farm House
Cambodia, Krong Preah Sihanouk Prov, Sugar Cane Vendor
Bangladesh, Sherpur Prov, Street Justice - These men, followed by a throng of people, took this older man by force. It was not the first time I have seen this sort of emotional reaction in Bangladesh. On my first visit there in 1983, I barely escaped the wrath of a crowd.
Slovenia, Koper Prov, City Women
South Sandwich Is, Two Penguins Jumping Up On Iceberg, 2006 - Two chinstrap penguins are in mid-air, while a third swims in the water. The magnificence of their effort can be seen in this photograph, the water droplets trailing from their bodies.
Slovenia, Logatec Prov, Village
Myanmar, Kachin Prov, Street Scene
Azerbaijan, Yardimli Prov, Night Conversation
Turkey, Sirnak Prov, Mountains With Road
France, Mont St. Michel, 2003 - Mont St. Michel is a must to see. It is a place that inspires. It inspired my song Feast of Love, and its adjunct Mont St. Michel.
