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.

Atlantic Ocean, Iceberg, 2006 - This trip was the first time I had been in a ship in waters where icebergs were a daily sight. They often were spectacular, offering photographic opportunities, and, more importantly, a chance for the imagination to run, as a child imagines castles in ice cream.
