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.

Ascension, Woman Mountain, 2006 - I dubbed this mountain Woman Mountain because her shape resembled that of a woman. The cinder cone resembled the head. Then there were the breasts, followed by a large belly . Leaving Comfortless Cove on foot, I spied the mountain. I became enchanted. Ascension was dubbed the ugliest place by some on the Bouvet trip. But for me, I found incredible beauty in the austere landscape. I later wrote, "The woman, she stood over me, austere and gentle by the sea, that is where I longed to be, under her breasts and majesty."

Papua New Guinea, Koroba, Wigman Yellow Flower, 1983 - Each Huli seemed to create his own personal look. I heard that the Hulis tried to emulate the male bird of paradise. The female of the species was rather plain. It was the male that did feather displays to attract the female.
