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.

DK, Greenland, North Coast, Musk Ox, 2007, IMG_4877CU1 - I saw about twenty Musk Oxen on the north coast of Greenland. The one in this photograph fled as we approached. I later searched for him. In this scene, he noticed my presence. I stood as still as I could. I was told by the pilot that the Musk Ox were more dangerous than the polar bears.
