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.

, Old Woman Roasting Giant Marshmallows, 2006 - I could not help but notice the likeness of this woman with hay bales as a Lilliiputian roasting giant marshmallows.
Taiwan, Taipei City (TW-TPE) Prov, Building Tower - I ask myself, is the flowering of buildings all over the world really the work of man or is it being driven by some other power that we are not even aware of. Mankind might ask itself, can it stop "progress" even if it wanted to?
Slovenia, Sevnica Prov, House Reflection
Trinidad, Girls In Rain, 1997 - On one of my many visits to Trinidad, I traveled south one day with my then-girlfriend, Nicole. These girls walked in the rain. For me, it was an evocative scene. I was never one to let weather influence me as to when I went to a place. I figure that all weather is a valid view of a country, so why only go when the weather is good?! 
Slovenia, Mislinja Prov, Church
India, Rajasthan Family, 1984 - Judith and I slept in the small roofed structure on the left in this photograph, known as a 'de-la'. Water pipes, used to smoke tobacco, sit on the ground in front of the de-la.
