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.

China, Anhui Province, Charm Sales, 2008, IMG_9520 - A man was selling these animal parts as charms. The bear claw was one of them. 
Nepal, Jeff Shea on the Summit of Island Peak, 1983 - In this photograph I revel in the accomplishment of reaching 20,000 feet for the first time. I celebrated by smoking a joint of ganja (marijuana). The truly fantastic thing here is the vast range of peaks behind me.
