StuckInCustoms > Sitting on a Bench and Watching the Sunset I took this at the Post Ranch Inn one evening. I went here after my last talk at EG to spend some time relaxing. It’s not like the EG Conference was stressful or anything, but it is high-intensity. I do like having periods of high-intensity followed by periods of low-intensity. A nice sunset in the Big Sur area qualifies as one of those low-intensity events!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > San Francisco Before Sunrise Before I started going to the main location, Tom and I pulled over to the side of the road in Sausalito to get this picture. The water was too blue and the colors were too interesting to drive on by! We wanted to be quick though… so we didn’t miss the sun peaking over the horizon at the main location.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Hiking in Carmel
Just south of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a hiking trail that goes along the coast. I went down at sunrise one morning to see what I could find. The entrance to the trail was blocked by a gate, and there was no ranger in the little box-place where rangers stand. I was bamboozled. There was no way through or around. I could have walked, but it looked like the road went on quite a ways before the parking lot.So I waited until some other guy came along to let himself in. I was parked a ways back, and so I got his attention from afar by grunting and raising my Nikon-on-tripod over my head like a sand raider -- he got the message and waved me through.- Trey RatcliffRead the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Cart Racing in Queenstown This may be my son’s favorite thing about Queenstown! In the summer, they open up this area at the top of the mountain where you can luge all day long. He never gets tired of it – and neither do I! When we go back, we’ll have to see if we can get some kind of a season pass or something.He gets a little rough, and he’s a little bit ruthless. But I have a good 100 pounds on him, which helps everywhere except for the curves. He spins around the corners like Yoshi, and I’m a little more like Bowser…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Along the River in Lijiang While I walked along one of the many little streams that flowed through the village, restaurants, cafes, shops, and homes lined the sides. Each one was decorated a little bit differently with unique lanterns, fauna, decor, windows, furniture, and flowers. You could stop almost anywhere to take a photo! So, well, I did.Switching lenses is still a bit of a pain. The two lenses I used the most there were the 14-24 and the 28-300. But many shots were kind of right around that 20-35mm zone, which menat I was never really sure of which lens to use… so I would end up swapping back and forth a lot until it felt right!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Pretty Door in ArlesIt was a perfect day in Arles while my wife and I were strolling around the streets and finding little things here and there. She went into a cafe to get some food to go, and I took the time to wander the streets and find some pretty little scenes. Many of the window shutters, gates, and doors were painted all sorts of colors. I thought this little place along the street had a nice feel to it… made me wish I lived there!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Selling Flowers in South China It was a wet, humid, but cool night when I was walking through Feng Huang. It was one of those nights where you are not sure if you want to wear a sweatshirt or just something light. Wearing something heavy holds the threat of getting moist and making you more uncomfortable… wearing something light holds the threat of keeping you too cold.I saw this lady selling flowers on the side of the road.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Suspicious Chipmunk Why is the chipmunk so suspicious? How much intrigue and backstabbing can there be in the world of the woodland creature? What are the other unexpected emotional states of chipmunks? Mildly-surprised-chipmunk? Angst-ridden-chipmunk? Walk-of-shame- chipmunk? Only the internet knows…And the internet DOES know… go do a Google video search for “Dramatic Chipmunk” – you’ll never forget it :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > He Watches And so it was with the emperor here in the Capital Museum in Beijing.Do you know how hard it was to get permission to use a tripod in here? It was very very hard. And, the permission part had to be in Chinese, which adds a whole new layer of complexity to the permission-gaining-process. But, luckily I had a little team there helping me out with this stuff, and that made life a lot easier. After all the paperwork was squared away and three redundant layers of government officials were satisfied, the light was perfect for this shot. I rushed over to take it before the ink was dry!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > France in Epcot These little fabrications of countries around Epcot try really hard at being authentic, and they are often quite successful! Sometimes bits and pieces here are a little cheesy, but I get the sense that the people that build, model, and landscape these things put a lot of time and effort (and love) into it. I’m sure it gets down to the detail of trying to choose the right kind of fonts for the clock.This evening was a particularly lucky one because of the clouds and the light in the sky. This situation is so rare that I went photo-crazy for about 15 minutes while it lasted!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Lonely River in Iceland I wonder sometimes if I project my own emotions onto the landscape around me. I’m really not all that dramatic, but sometimes this does seem to be the case, especially in Iceland. Since I spend so much time there alone, I end up thinking that parts of the environs seem kind of lonely too. And I think there is probably a lot of truth in it because I hardly ever see any other humans, so everything is very lonely!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Exploring TokyoSome architecture just feels “Japanese.” I don’t know what that means, but there are some situations that just feel like they fit better in modern Japan than other countries.You might also remember this from the video I did from Japan. There was this scene where a girl’s high heels were walking across this lighted ground at night in slo-mo. This is that same place from a different perspective during the day.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > The Wild Japanese River Here is another photo from Japan (two days in a row) – this time from a more crazy scene!I hired a boat to take me down a rough river near Nikko. There were many sights to be seen that I could get to from the river, so I decided to take all my equipment on this ride. That was a bad idea! It wasn’t my first (or last) bad idea.Things got a little crazy in the boat sometimes, and the guys that were “steering” us down the rapids often looked pretty nervous and panicked. When they got panicked, I got 2x panicked!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Angelina in ParisThis is some of the decadent hot chocolate from Angelina in Paris. Thanks for the people on the blog here that turned us onto this place! I’ve ended up there many times, and I always order too much… enough to get a little bit queasy, but the good-kind of chocolate-queasy.If you go, be sure to stop there and get one… it’s also a full restaurant/cafe. I got the croque-madame, which is like the monsieur, except there is an egg on top.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
