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.

UK, Northern Ireland, Derry Province, Choking On Oppression, 2008, IMG_5545CU1 - Going to Free Derry can be an emotional experience. One cannot help but be moved by the terrific fight the inhabitants put up in the quest for self-determination.
PH, Bukidnon Province, Truck With People, 2008, IMG_1239 - The people of the Philippines are generally quite friendly. This scene shows two hallmarks of the Philippines: the Jeepney, which is a conversion of the Jeep, introduced in the second world war, and the willingness of the people to open themselves to others.
Turkey, Gumushane Prov, Castle
PH, Davao Oriental Province, Beach, 2008, IMG_1412 - Kind of a pretty scene, but not much good for swimming, on the southwest coast of Davao Del North.
