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.

Philippines, Batangas Province, Taal Lake With Volcano Island, 2007
United Arab Emirates, Sharjah, Wall And Dome, 2000 - One Emirate seemed to fade into the next. It was difficult at first glance to see what distinguished one from the other. Here, sharp architecture made Sharjah stand out.
Turkey, Ardahan Prov, Landscape
Norway, Spitsbergen, Tern Fishing, 2007 - With my Canon f4 500mm lens, I caught this tern ready for a fishing dive. They are marvelous creatures! But beware if you approach their nests when there are young, for they dive on you! This photograph was taken near the camping ground at the airport in Longyearbyen. (IMG_2716CU1)
Slovenia, Menges Prov, Structure And Mountains
Slovenia, Mozirje Prov, Butterfly
Madagascar, Girl, 2003 - Madagascar was a wonderful place. The people were friendly, the landscape beautiful, and the atmosphere distinct from other places. I took this photograph on the way from Antannarivo to Fianarantsoa.
