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.

World’s First Reconnaisance of Warming Island 2006
The composite image above was created from two photographs I took from the helicopter on September 12, 2006. This full view of Warming Island tells the story: the ice bridge on the left that joined Warming Island with Greenland for all known history melted, revealing that Warming Island was not part of Greenland. The tabular iceberg shown on the left appears to have been part of the break-away. Whilst esoteric discussion between politicians steers public opinion about whether or not Global Warming exists, those individuals that live in or travel to the Arctic or Antarctic have a very clear view of what is happening. The world is melting. It is my view that it is not necessary to argue the point as to whether this melting is caused by human activity. The best course of action is for mankind to behave as if it is. Striving for a clean environment will have a positive effect on our quality of life.
Tanzania, Ngorongoro Crater, Zebra And Wildebeest, 1987 - Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is a thrill to see, for inside it there are most of the big game species in Africa. I long to see the world's natural animal populations restored by preserving vast spaces on the surface of the earth as World Parks.
Thailand, Mae Hong Son Province, Kayan Girl, 2008, IMG_3794 - Another view of the same girl shows arm bands and more of the clothing. She was like something out of an ancient fairy tale, with a persona to captivate.
