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.

Ireland, Leitrim Province, We Are All Ghosts In Time, 2008, IMG_5528CU1 - Photography is the relationship between time and light. If one views reality from the perspective of an open shutter, capturing everything at once with respect to a finite amount of time, but longer than our eye normally sees, then we are like ghosts, coming and going, and leaving ethereal traces of ourselves wherever we go.
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!
