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.

Ascension, Looking Down, 2002 - We hiked to the high point of Ascension Island. This photograph was taken on the way down. Ascension is occupied by the US and British military. Ascension is an important breeding ground for sea turtles. If you go to the beach at night at the during the breeding season, you can see the turtles lay eggs. We saw them on February 19, 2002
Latvia, Liepaja City Province, Man And Dog -
Slovenia, Sentjur Pri Celju Prov, Out For A Stroll
Bangladesh, Bogra Prov, Saw Mill - Still, the old-fashioned way of sawing is in use. It is nice to know that not the whole world is "modernized."

Falkland Island Dependencies, South Sandwich Islands, Saunders Island

Taiwan, Taipei City (TW-TPE) Prov, Building Tower - I ask myself, is the flowering of buildings all over the world really the work of man or is it being driven by some other power that we are not even aware of. Mankind might ask itself, can it stop "progress" even if it wanted to?
