This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Turkey, Karabuk Prov, Colorized Night, 2009 - On the night of December 5, 2009, I drove into Karabuk province. I later wrote, "Still I drove on. Now it was after 4a. We passed into a small sector of Karabuk province. I continually studied the landscape in the dark to try to figure how I could glean something of it on to an image." This photograph was the result, taken at night.

Easter Island, Moai In A Row, 1997 - These fantastic Moai are the hallmark of Easter Island. As stunning as these Moai are, there is evidence of even taller Moai buried in the ground, yet to be excavated.

Solomon Islands, Our Departure From Ngarringnasuru, 1982 - Fred Billy Akwafaasie took us up the coast in a motorized canoe. We needed to get to the road in the northeast of Malaita. From there we took a truck across the island and a local boat to Honiara. Villagers came to see us off. There were no roads to Sinalagu Bay in 1982.
