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.

Afghanistan, Tea Shop, 2002 - The tea shop in Afghanistan is, not surprisingly, very much of a man's sort of thing in Afghanistan. The men here were very friendly. I sat on the raised platform, shoeless, and enjoyed a couple of small glasses of sugary tea. A canopy provided shade.
Papua New Guinea, Canoe on Sepik, 1983 - To my surprise, the people of the Sepik had small fires burning in their canoes as they paddled along. These fires could be used to light their pipes or to carry fire from one place to the next.
China, Harbin Ice Festival Night, 1992 - Every winter in the Chinese province of Heliongijang in the town of Harbin they hold an Ice Festival. They build ice castles and sculptures. There are balloons in the sky. It is grand. It is mighty cold! The temperatures reach minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit!
Bouvet, Zodiac 3 Disaster Strikes, 2006 - The wave engulfs the Zodiac.
