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.

Nepal, Blue Masked Dancer, 1983 - In addition to serious Buddhist religious ceremonies, the monks during Mani Rimdu also wore fantastic costumes, coming down the stairs of the old monastery and dancing in the flat courtyard. I noted the repeated use of the skull motif.

Puerto Rico, Goat In Car, 2006 - This car was rolling down the freeway with the goat in the back. I took the photo out of the window of the car I was in.
Central African Republic, Pygmy Woman With Designs On Body, 2000 - This woman sports an imaginative hair styling, cut close to her head in geometric patterns. She also had sharpened her front teeth to a point, as is the custom of some pygmy women. One old woman in the village had a large hole directly in the middle of her upper lip.
