What can we glean from looking through the eyes of someone else's world travel? In the case of Peter Stewart, perhaps it's as simple as the inspiration to travel.

In June of 2015 CLI first featured the photographic work of Peter Stewart. His images from China and throughout Asia inspired us so much that we could not resist another post. We hope this selection of Peter's photography evokes your adventuresome spirit.

"I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment."
