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, Steam Train Terminal, 1979 - This photograph was taken from on top of the steam train that still runs from Guayaquil to Riobamba in Ecuador. In 1979, this was an interesting journey, with people piling up their goods on top of the train. In this case you can see a piece of furniture being moved. (110 film resurrected)
