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.

Iran, The Ayatollah and the Shah's Head, 1984 - Here, a mural shows the Ayatollah Khomeini walking into the sunset with the former Shah of Iran's head severed from the blow of an ax at his feet. These types of graphic demonstrations of "victory" are not uncommon in dictatorial states.
Tokelau, Seascape 5, 2001 - Sunsets were like I had never seen them before.
