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.

Cape Verde, Sal, Monte Grande, 2006 - I had been once before to Sal. I erroneously had the impression that Sal was flat. On my second visit I endeavored to climb to its high point, Monte Grande, shown here in the background. I walked from Espargos, some seven kilometers distant.
Taiwan, Keelung County Prov, Rainy Lights Blur
Zambia, Microlite, 2000 - Taking a microlite over Victoria Falls was a thrill. A microlite is like riding a motorcycle through the sky. This photo was taken by my pilot using a camera mounted on the wing.
