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.

Slovenia, Dornava Prov, Corn And Cat, 2006 - 
Tanzania, Lioness and Cubs, 1984 - My first visit to Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania was thrilling. The largest permanent concentration of wildlife in Africa lives in the floor of the 20-kilometer diameter caldera, an ancient, mammoth collapsed volcano. Here, a mother and her two cubs relax.
Slovenia, Polzela Prov, Human-Like Sign
China, Guangdong Province, Yangshuo Ox and Man, 1992CU1 - I was traveling with my Chinese girlfriend at the time. As a girlfriend she was fine, but as a wife, well, it turned out poorly and ended soon. Every cloud has a silver lining. From her, I learned to type, and I learned an appreciation of China's great past.
Papua New Guinea, Gera Women, 1983 - These women were happy to have Kelly and I as their guests. They put on their best regalia for us.
Turkey, Bingol Prov, Landscape
PH, Manila Light Painting 2, 2008, IMG_2275 - Reality in a different form.
Laos, Phongsali Prov, Tribal Girl
