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.

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.
Slovenia, Obcina Hrpelje-Kozina, Bee In Flower, 2006 - It was not until the Spring of 2006 during my in-depth trip to Slovenia that I became fascinated with the small world all around us. Every time I wanted to take a photograph of a beautiful flower, I discovered that the little creatures of the world lived in a world far more beautiful than the most lavish mansions of man.
