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.

Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, Sunset On Pyramid Of Middle Finger, 2006 - The pyramid shown in the right of the photograph is the top of the middle finger of Warming Island. This photograph looks north from our camp.
Antarctica, Ice Bubbles 1, 2001 - While waiting for a plane from our camp in Antarctica to the South Pole, I went on a day hike in the Patriot Hills. I went with Katherine from Adventure Network who was familiar with the terrain. When we had descended from the Hills, at the base of the other side, we saw a rather incredible phenomena at "Groovy Pool": Ice Bubbles! Exactly how these were formed is a mystery. It appeared that as the water was freezing air was trying to escape, which formed ice of a lesser density. I simply don't know! Can anyone out there explain it? It was brilliant. Getting a photograph to show it was a bit of a challenge. There is a separate view on this website that gives a better overall feeling of rising bubbles.

Burkina Faso, Peul Girl With Child, 1987 - I traveled by road across part of Burkina Faso, formerly Upper Volta. This woman amazed me with her pyramid-shaped coiffeur. It is very much in the shape of a cassowary's horn.
