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.

Antarctica, Ice Bubbles 2, 2001 - This photograph shows a different view from Ice Bubbles 1. Taken at the same frozen pool of water at the base of the Patriot Hills in Chilean Antarctica, this shot depicts the rising of the bubbles as they froze. Rising air mixed with water; the resulting less dense ice preserved the appearance of bubbles. At least this is my conjecture.

Turkey, Kastamonu Province, Couple - December 5, 2009 - At about 11 p.m. we entered into Kastamonu province. We went into a small tea shop at about midnight. The proprietor and his wife were very friendly and posed for photos. They were clearly very happy. This is the dream of so many people, to be in love for as long as they live. A beautiful sight.

Singapore, Waterfront, 2007 - This photograph shows the area in front of the lion fountain on the water's edge, across from the Fullerton Hotel. It shows the 'armadillo-shaped" building (the municipal auditorium) and the area around the Pan Pacific, Marriott and Pan Pacific Hotels, among others. Singapore is alive at night in this area.
