This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

France, Camargue Horse, 2003 - I was familiar with a fine art photograph white horses. When I discovered they were native to the Camargue in south central France, I made a point to go and see them. The Camargue is at the mouth of the Rhone River, a large, flat area bordering the sea west of Toulouse. The horses were stunning. I was a bit disappointed to find out that they were not wild. All, it seemed, were owned by someone and some were branded.

Uruguay, Train Station, 1993 - There was something sort of other-worldly about Uruguay, as if lost in some soft of a time vacuum. It seems there was some history within the recesses of my mind that connected me with the place. On the way back to Montevideo from Mirador Nacional and the beaches to the east, I was inspired to write the lyrics to Sky Tender.

Haiti, Grand-Anse Province, Village Girl, IMG_5043 - This girl lived in a group of huts on the side of a hill just off the road. The beauty of women in the simplest of environments always amazes me. There is no makeup, no flash, but just simple, wholesome good features.
