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.

Turkey, Kastamonu Province, Couple - December 5, 2009 - At about 11 p.m. we entered into Kastamonu province. We went into a small tea shop at about midnight. The proprietor and his wife were very friendly and posed for photos. They were clearly very happy. This is the dream of so many people, to be in love for as long as they live. A beautiful sight.

Greenland, North Greenland Mountains, 2007 - The landscapes in North Greenland, as you can see, are marvelllous. For one thing, the air is clearer than any you might ever see elsewhere. One of the consequences of this is that things that look close may be quite far away. In fact, on our North Greenland Euro-American Expedition, most of the expedition was always in sight of a certain mountain range. No matter where we walked, it seemed - at least most of the time - it was visible. This photograph is taken quite near the most northerly land in the world. Here I am only a few kilometers from the sea ice near Kaffeklubben and Stray Dog West.
