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.

Montenegro, Farm House, 2003 - I drove by myself from Kosovo into Montenegro across a snowy pass. This farm house appeared as I came out of the mountains. On this trip in 2003, I completed my lifelong dream of going to every country. Now I am pursuing new dreams.
Madagascar, Mouse Lemur, 2003 - In Ranomafano, a guided night hike gave a portrait of nocturnal life. This mouse lemur was lured by the banana, bait set by the guide. This tiny lemur was barely as big as his quarry.

DK, Greenland, Station Nord, Ivory Gull, 2007, IMG_3146r1 - The ivory gull, I was told, only lives in a select few places. At Staion Nord, there were plenty of them. They are all white. Here one prepares for flight.

Slovenia, Moravce Prov, Old House
Italy, Pisa, a Different View, 2003 - Most everyone is familiar with photographs of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In this shot the Tower is visible on the far right in the background. This affords a view of the other structures in the area.
