    MONKEY JUNGLE, FLORIDA

    “Where the humans are caged and the animals run wild.” Explored Monkey Jungle in Homestead, Florida. The wildlife bio-park, on ten acres, allows you to move through lush rainforest habitats via screened walkways, and at a feeding station, you leave your “cage” to interact with the monkeys. New concepts in primate behaviors have been developed…

  • THE WAVE, UTAH

    THE WAVE, UTAH

    [slideshow_deploy id=’1434′] The most unusual rock formation in the world. The water-stream erosion Navajo Sandstone, 190 million years old, is a heart flayed open, taffy gone wild, a hallucination in stone! Located near the Utah-Arizona border in the Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness. The BLM limits access to just 20 permits per day, for the sandstone…

  • ANTELOPE CANYON, ARIZONA

    ANTELOPE CANYON, ARIZONA

    [slideshow_deploy id=’1425′]   A slot canyon on Navajo Land, just outside Page, Arizona. You go in with a native Navajo Guide. The colors in the sandstone are pastels, from pink to purple. And the narrow, twisting formations create amazing forms — a Spirit Bear silhouette, a Candle, a Human Embryo. A spiritual place. An Earth Cathedral. My church.

    LAUGHTON GLACIER, ALASKA

    [slideshow_deploy id=’1396′]   There are 100,000 glaciers in Alaska (of varying sizes) and 95% are in retreat, melting back in our era of global warming.

    TRACY ARM FJORD, ALASKA

    [slideshow_deploy id=’1375′] A glacier-carved masterpiece, Tracy Arm Fjord winds narrow and serpentine for 26 miles into the southeast Alaska coastline. 4,000 foot granite rock walls soar straight up out of ocean 1,000 feet deep; waterfalls cascade down in silver plumes; mountain goats prance and dance across the vertical escarpments; seals sun themselves on pan-ice tabletops;  garlands of…

  • Benin, West Africa

    Benin, West Africa

    [slideshow_deploy id=’1352′] A visit to the land of Voodoo or Voodun, the world’s oldest root religion. African Voodun has little to do with the Hollywood version of sticking pins in dolls. It is a nature-based wisdom, a church without walls, with the High Priests/Healers knowing the medicinal properties of thousands of plants. Arranged a visit…
