The Distant Mist While in Iceland, I traveled through a lowlands area early in the morning. A mist -- a video-game-mist -- started moving quickly across the ground and through the distant hillocks. It was all so surreal that I barely remembered that I should be taking a photo of this. That was a strange feeling, since the whole reason I was there was to take photos! :)- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Horse in Landscape Remember what I said a few days ago about reasons for no stopping for almost every horse photo in Iceland? Forget I said that. I don't know what I was talking about. Go ahead and stop... I mean, how on earth can you pass this buy?These horses remind me a bit of the sirens in Odysseus, distracting me from my destination... But, really, that analogy falls apart because I had no destination in mind, so I allow myself plenty of wonderful distractions.- Trey RatcliffRead more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
La Ville de Paris Gets Ready for Night I was on the hill in the Montmartre part of Paris just after the sun had set. I pointed the camera over the sprawl of the city just as the lights were coming on for the evening. I made it my personal mission to walk down into the city that evening, meander around, and visit at least three pastry shops and eat a silly number of desserts. I tricked myself into thinking that I might be burning a lot of calories by doing so much walking. It's amazing how easily I was able to justify French desserts.Trey's Tip: While taking photos, it's good to have a few side-quests to keep an eye out for. In my case, it's eating pastries. This is not the healthiest side-goal, but it's a fun one! Anyway, my point is that you don't just have to be a "photography machine" -- you can always do a few things at the same time to enrich the overall experience.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Golden Pavilion (or Kinkaku-ji for my new Japanese friends)This is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto, so of course I had to go. It's sort of like going to the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Rudy's BBQ in Austin.It was originally built back in 1397 and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The building itself is as meticulous as the gardens around it. The Japanese really know how to tend a garden! There was a fleet of workers all over the grounds, sweeping up and rearranging little bits here and there. It was all very quaint and wonderful.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Tree in Front of Our Home as Autumn Falls to Winter We have these amazing trees in front of our house, and they explode in color right around this time of year. I took Ethan out front to pose under the tree while I set up across the street to try to capture the mood. I live in the Hill Country of Texas, just 20 mins (no traffic!) to downtown Austin. I don't think this photo has captured how hilly it is (or how much pain I feel when I jog up this hill in front of the house!) But, at least you can see the sprinkles of red as the first of the trees turn for winter.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Distant Mist


While in Iceland, I traveled through a lowlands area early in the morning. A mist -- a video-game-mist -- started moving quickly across the ground and through the distant hillocks.
