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.

South Sandwich Is, Chinstrap Penguin In Ice Cavern, 2006 - If you look on the lower right of this photograph, you can see a chinstrap penguin swimming in the water. If visualized from his perspective, this iceberg forms a large cavern of turquoise blue.
Taiwan, Taipei (TW-TPE) City Prov, Blossom On Branch, 2009 - I found this rather unusual. I have seen blossoms directly on tree trunks (see Seram, Maluku Province, Indonesia), but these are directly on the branch. I don't know what they are.

South Sandwich Is, Chinstrap Penguins Leaping Above Water, 2006 - There was an iceberg a few hundred meters off shore. A group of chinstrap penguins frolicked in the water. Some stood on top of the iceberg. It had not occurred to me how they had gotten up there.
