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, Rogasovci, Sunset Over Village, 2006 - In Slovenia, I made it a point to take at least three photographs in every one of the 193 obcina I visited: one of the land, one of the people and one an artful photo of my own choosing. I arrived in Rogascovci just at dusk, somewhat discouraged that I had missed the light. An incredible red sun appeared as it lowered onto the horizon. Rushing out of the car, I pulled my lens out to 350mm and took several shots. Just then, hundreds of birds sailed across the sky.The moral of this experience for me was to pursue dreams to their end and never to be discouraged to keep trying. (This photo is not touched up at all.)
