The Nameless Pagoda SleepsTom and I visited this Pagoda late one evening in Li Jiang. There was zero wind, so the perfect reflection made us happy. The thing that did not make us happy was having to get on the ground with our tripods in the lowest position. I do try to avoid getting on the ground as often as possible… but when the scene is right, I guess I have no choice!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
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.
The Canals of Lijiang at Night
There must be a hundred little canals spread here and there through the old town.  There are so many opportunities for photos!  This is what we call a target-rich environment.

This is the town I was in with Tom Anderson -- every night we explored a new area.  It was an amazing time... I can't wait to go back some day!
