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.

Madagascar, Mouse Lemur, 2003 - In Ranomafano, a guided night hike gave a portrait of nocturnal life. This mouse lemur was lured by the banana, bait set by the guide. This tiny lemur was barely as big as his quarry.
Ascension, Woman Mountain, 2006 - Called "the ugliest island I've ever been" by some of my fellow passengers aboard the Alexey Maryshev, Ascension Island proved to be one of the most beautiful. I have never seen a mountain look like this.
