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.

Atlantic Ocean, Sea Ice, 2007, IMG_2968 - One of the spectacles of the world is to see the sea ice in the north of the world. At some times it is scary, when you think of the world melting. At other times, it is magnificent art, when you let your mind see it without thought.
Mauritius, Rock on Peak, 2002 - I was incredulous when I saw this distant pinnacle with a large boulder resting on its tip. I have never been able to find its name or any mention of it.
