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.

UK, Birmingham, Birmingham Girls, 2009 - I was just leaving Birmingham at night, taking a photograph of a downtown monument, when four beautiful Birmingham girls said, "Will you take our photo!" I was delighted. My camera settings were all wrong, however, so I asked them for another. (Their one friend had already started walking, unfortunately, so she was not in this photograph. She is in the other one.) Their enthusiasm was contagious!! I gave them my website address, and they wrote back to me as "The Birmingham Girls", hence the name of the photograph.
UK, Saint Helena, Tristan Da Cunha, View From Ocean, 2002 - Tristan Da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island in the world, lying between Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope in the south Atlantic. It is quite stunning to see. It rises straight out of the ocean to a height of over 6500 feet.
