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.

Ecuador, Train On Switchbacks Above Station, 1979 - This is a view from the top of the steam train that runs from Guayaquil to Riobamba in Ecuador. At this point, the train was climbing the cliff directly above the station, doing so by means of switchbacks. The train would go forward, then in reverse it would go to the other side of the cliff, and so on until it reached the top!! (110 film resurrected)
China, Harbin Ice Festival Night, 1992 - Every winter in the Chinese province of Heliongijang in the town of Harbin they hold an Ice Festival. They build ice castles and sculptures. There are balloons in the sky. It is grand. It is mighty cold! The temperatures reach minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit!
