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, Bled Prov, Clarinets
Namibia, Zebras Front And Back, 2000 - I found the zebras in Etosha National Park to be especially beautiful. They were not just white and black, but had a tan stripe as well.
Malaysia, Melaka Prov, Lighted Houses, 2008 -
Myanmar, Mandalay Prov, Bagan Temple Detail
Slovenia, Krizevci Prov, Tractor, 2006 - The Slovenes are hard-working people. I am one of them. My grandfather came from Slovenia in 1898 at the age of twelve, when it was still part of Austria. Going through all 193 Slovenian provinces gave me an insight into the basis for the character of my grandfather and grandmother (whose parents were born in Slovenia), who were remarkable examples of pure good.
