This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Tibet, Everest, View Of Kanchenjunga From North Ridge, 1995 -
This photograph was taken in the morning of my ascent to the summit of Mount Everest above the Second Step, in the vicinity of the Third Step. In the foreground is snow that I am standing on, and below it, a 10,000 foot drop off to the Kangshung Glacier. In the distance is Kanchenjunga.
Papua New Guinea, Koroba, Wigman Yellow Flower, 1983 - Each Huli seemed to create his own personal look. I heard that the Hulis tried to emulate the male bird of paradise. The female of the species was rather plain. It was the male that did feather displays to attract the female.
