Travel

Here are some of my travel photos and selected links (still under construction). Why do I travel? To wander over the earth: to see and never have my fill of seeing...new land and seas and...ideas: to see it all as though for the first time and the last time, with a long lingering gaze: and then to close my eyelids and feel the riches crystallizing inside me, calmly or tempestuously as they will, until Time has distilled them through its fine sieve into the quintessence of all my joys and all my griefs. This alchemy of the heart is, I believe, a great delight........ -- Nikos Kazantzakis
