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.

Falkland Islands, Willy Waugh Profile, 2006 - The Willy Waugh is a clever and beautiful bird. Its persistence in raiding farms made it a prey of man. This photo was taken on New Island. 
Turkey, Nevsehir Prov, Cappadocia Pasa Bagi
N Ireland, Down Prov, Mansion Close
Slovenia, Nova Gorica Prov, Town
Argentina, Hail Bigger Than A Golf Ball, 1993 - I have been telling people about this story for years, but I don't think they really get it. On the way to climb Aconcagua from Mendoza, Argentina, there was a hail storm. Look at the size of the hail stones!! Truly, there were leaves and small branches all over the ground. It seems to reason that this kind of hail storm could easily kill animals and even people!
Slovenia, Verzej Province, Tree, 2006, IMG_4978r4 -
PH, Bukidnon Province, Ant Working At Sunset, 2008, IMG_1226 - An ant works even at sunset. Everyone and everything has to have an occupation.
Estonia, Polvamaa Prov, Ducks -
Greenland, Peary Land, Landscape Aerial, 2007 - This photo was taken through the window of a Twin Otter. The landscape, as Dennis Schmitt had described it to me was "like Mars," or otherworldly. You can see the blue melt lake. It amazed me that this was a photo and not a painting. This photo appeared in Esquire in October 2007. (IMG_1514)
Vietnam, An Giang Prov, Cook
