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.

Egypt, Luxor Statue, 1984 - Luxor, Egypt constitutes one of the most fantastic temple complexes in the world not only because of the beauty of the craftsmanship but also because of the sheer size of the works or art, such as is exhibited in this statue. Deep religious meaning permeates the art of ancient Egypt.
