The Alps from Above Scott Kublin and I took the train from Zermatt through the Alps to St. Moritz. Right after we arrived, we went to the top of the nearest mountain to take photos and have dinner. This place seemed to fit the bill!If you ever want to take that train — I recommend it! Thanks to everyone on the blog here that recommended it to me to begin with! It’s called the Glacier Express… be sure to take your camera! :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Impossible Bridge I took this photo out the window of the train I was on – the same train you can see in the photo! This is the Glacier Express, a crazy-awesome train that goes through the Alps and connects Zermatt and St. Moritz. It was recommended by many nice people here on the blog, and here I am re-recommending it! :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Fisherman in Switzerland I got these fishermen outside of the window of a moving train.And that moving train was thanks to you great readers here of the blog, that recommended that I take a ride on the Glacier Express from St. Moritz to Zermatt. It was a great suggestion! In fact, it was so good, I think I will have to ask for more advice in the future!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Matterhorn For most of my life, I've generally only known the Matterhorn for the ride in Disneyland! I mean, I always knew it was a real mountain... and I've seen photos of it and stuff... but seeing it there in the middle of the Alps was really cool. I think I was lucky while here in Zermatt, Switzerland. I understand that it is often occluded by clouds, so this was a lucky day indeed! Zermatt was a really great little town -- I'd love to go back and spend some more time there! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest, and some info on the new Silver Efx Pro, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Alps in the Afternoon The more rugged the mountains, the better they look with a low angle of incidence of the light. Of course, they also look great in the middle of the day, but since the rugged peaks are in three dimensions, you get many extra angles of contrast when the sun is low. These kind of shots help me remember the fake symbology built up in my head of the shape-of-mountains. I got a bit of this when I was learning to draw... when drawing a human face, it takes a long time to get rid of that thing that is drilled into you as a kid -- that the eye is sort of the shape of a football. If you try to do that with a good drawing, it never works. And, it's sort of the same way with mountains. In my head, I still have to stop thinking of them as a rugged 2D line. It's thousands of 2D lines, crawling this way and that, but I can usually only see one of them. But, on late afternoons like this, you can start to see hundreds of more lines. - Trey Ratcliff Read more, including a post about why I don't watermark, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
