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.

England, Slough Prov, Castle Bridge
Mount Paektu, 2013
North Korea, Yanggang-do Province
Afghanistan, Tea Shop, 2002 - The tea shop in Afghanistan is, not surprisingly, very much of a man's sort of thing in Afghanistan. The men here were very friendly. I sat on the raised platform, shoeless, and enjoyed a couple of small glasses of sugary tea. A canopy provided shade.
Gambia, Stone Circles, 2003 - The Stone Circles are in eastern Gambia. To my surprise, there are apparently many areas in the vicinity with similar monoliths, reminiscent of Stonehenge. There are more permanent ancient permanent sites in Africa than just the Great Zimbabwe Monument!
Lithuania, Taurages Prov, Effigy -
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.
