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.

Congo Zaire, Baboon On Riverboat, 1984 - I took this photograph on the riverboat on the way to Kinshasa from Kisangani. This animal was a pet of one one of the people on board. I assume this is a baboon, based on research, but I cannot confirm it.
Indonesia, Sulawesi Tenggara Province, Eel After The Catch - I watched a group of fisherman pulling in a net by hand off the coast near Kendari. The catch was meager. It included this small eel.
