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.

Nepal, Festival of Holi, Ed Gets Color Bombed, 1984 - Every year in India and Nepal they celebrate the Festival of Holi, or Festival of Colors. Here our friend Ed from Holland stands, a victim of children hurling "color bombs." It is simply colored powder.
Romania, Farm Girl Sitting On Wagon, 1997 - On my visits to Romania in 1997, I brought an 8x10 camera. The beauty of the young women, so unassuming and natural in their rural environments, captivated me.
