A few photos from
various trips and 'world tours'
(About every second year, I travel around the
world -- usually west to east; alternate years, I usually do a
north-south round trip, e.g., from Africa to Scandinavia.
Inevitably, there are opportunities for photos, as well as occasions
for shameless publicity.)
(I've rearranged the photos, with the most recent first. That way,
as you scroll down, you will note a remarkable rejuvenation process.
I have also added a few of my more - and probably the only -
artistic photos.)
