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, Old Woman And Fire, 2006 - Lee McLaughlin wrote a children's book on Einstein where there were giant marshmellows of the type in this photograph. I was reminded of this when I saw the old woman tending to the fire. It looked like a giant marshmellow roast, either that, or she was a leprechaun. This was taken by the side of the road in Slovenia.

Nepal, Mani Rimdu, Horns, 1983 - These impressive horns make a deep, bellowing sound. One night above Tengboche monastery (in the Solo Khumbu region of Nepal), the horns blew, resounding off the walls of the immense valley where Tengboche lies. Tengboche, where this photograph is taken, is arguably one of the most fantastic places on earth, especially during the festival of Mani Rimdu.
