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.

Japan, Fukushima Province, Aizu Castle, 2008, IMG_1695rS - Many towns in Japan have castles. They don't look at all like European castles, which are usually made of stone. Japanese castles typically have a moat that is lined with sloping stone walls, but the structure is usually composed largely of wood with great beams and the typically superlative Japanese workmanship and engineering. The Aizu castle here is shown during the few days that the cherry blossoms open. This day was April 17, 2007.
