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.

South Georgia, Salisbury Plain, Penguins, 2006 - South Georgia was an amazing place. It was not only the landscape and the animals that were spectacular, but the clouds as well.

Seram, Frog And Spider, 2006 - Upriver from Kaifin, in the area of Seti in northern Seram, we waited for the Suku Terasing, or lost tribe. It was frustrating. We needed water and I wanted to go with the guides from Seti Mulemet. We walked up a bed of a small dry streamlet. There we found small pools of water. There was a frog that was so small it was unbelievable. We put her on a rock. Along came a spider. The spider looks as if it had three eyes! The spider dwarfed the frog in this rather rare scene.
