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.

Ascension, Woman Mountain, Surreal Light Clouds 1, 2006 - After getting my fill of the artful play of light at the base of the mountain, I began to climb up it in late afternoon. I came to this place, and now I was in an even greater state of disbelief. I counted my good fortune, that I should witness a totally different aspect of this mountain, yet equally magnficent.
