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.

Turkey, Karabuk Prov, Colorized Night, 2009 - On the night of December 5, 2009, I drove into Karabuk province. I later wrote, "Still I drove on. Now it was after 4a. We passed into a small sector of Karabuk province. I continually studied the landscape in the dark to try to figure how I could glean something of it on to an image." This photograph was the result, taken at night.
