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.

Sulawesi, Makassar Sunset, 2006 - Makassar is also known as Ujung Pandang, the capital of Sulawesi. As the sun went down, I had delays in setting up my camera. When the first photo was taken, the digital card was full, so this is the only one. Makassar is a large town. It is the gateway to Torajaland, a place with unusual customs and good coffee.

South Georgia, Salisbury Plain, Penguins, 2006 - South Georgia was an amazing place. It was not only the landscape and the animals that were spectacular, but the clouds as well.
