At a park with
Robbin Island behind me.
(Robbin
Island was where Nelson Mandela and many political apartheid prisoners
were kept. It's now a
museum.)

Looking back at
Capetown and Table Mountain from the ferry to Robbin Island.

A glimpse into
Nelson Mandela's cell. The white thick line on the right is a bar.

A boy from a shanty
town in South Africa, proud of his nifty cart. He'd been racing
this cart down the hill and he was so cute, I asked to take his picture,
so he posed for me.

Gandhi's
house in Durban, South Africa. It was reconstructed after it was destroyed during a
black riot. |
Me on safari at
Kwantu, a fabulous five star game reserve in Port Elizabeth, South
Africa. This picture is being taken by a Muslim woman game ranger
and the guy in front of me is the head ranger who was driving the
vehicle. That's a white rhino in the
background. |
Whale watching off the coast of Vancouver
Island. This orca was only ten feet from the bow of our boat.
She's the eighty year old matriarch of the local pod of orcas.

At the end of the runway of the airport in
Tuktoyuktuk. Beyond the fringe of black rocks is the The Bering
Sea which is part of the Arctic Ocean. This picture was taken at
about a half hour past noon in November of 2000. The sun was just about to
rise. It was so cold, about minus 40 degrees. While I stood
outside talking to the pilot my eyelashes started to freeze, covered in
a layer of hoar frost. I was afraid to walk the 300 feet, to the end of
the runway to take this picture. I thought I might freeze, so the
pilot said he'd stop and take it before taxiing down the runway on our way back to Inuvik. |
