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.

Easter Island, Reed Ship and Moai at Anakena Beach, 1997 - In this photograph both the Moai and the reed vessel at Anakena beach in 1997 are visible. Easter Island was a place of mystery and deep feeling. My short experience there was deeply enhanced by my relationship with my Rapa Nuian lover. She was native Rapa Nuian and had a deep spirit.
IN, Sulawesi Province, Makassar Rice Fields, 2008, IMG_0959 r1 - I always love flying into or out of Makassar (also known as Ujung Pandang) because the rice fields are so beautiful, seen from the air. In reality, on the ground, it is hot, there are lots of mosquitoes at sundown, and it is ? muddy! But from the air, it is art.
