To Where I Have Been & from Where I Came Geoffrey Higges

Publisher Marketing: This book is intended to fill the gaps in the life of the author left by two previous books - "How Meteors Hit the Ground," and "Out of the Frying Pan." Much of the content of those previous books is included in this publication to complete the story, but if you have already read those books, you can skip these chapters! The book is written in reverse chronological order - you can read it backwards if you prefer, or of course just pick out the odd chapter. The author has always been interested in movie making, starting with Pathe 9.5 mm film in the 1950s, but since retiring in 1991, video and photography have become more serious with the evolution of digital cameras and the power of the internet to display, share and sell photos, together with the time for more holidays! So it seems appropriate that this autobiography should include Appendix 6 as acknowledgement of the part that photography has become in the lives of the author and his wife, Carole-Anne Fooks (see livingtravel.com). Similarly, to give some recognition to the author's love of crosswords and quizzes, (evident in previous publications), each chapter ends with questions which could be like standard cryptic crossword clues, but with no crossword! Since retiring in 1992, travel videos have been created and photographs taken in the following countries: Australia, UK, Italy, USA, Antarctica, Southern Ocean Islands, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Mauritius, Russia, Iceland, Malaysia, Thailand, Bhutan, Brazil, Canada, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Singapore, Mongolia, South Korea, Cambodia, South Atlantic Islands, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Netherlands, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway.
