The Tetons, Revisited This area is not too far from Yellowstone. Just outside of the south exit, there is a fairly short drive to this area of Wyoming. It's on the way to Jackson Hole. This is also an amazing place if you are into Bison. There are hundreds and hundred of bison in this area. A free one was roaming about while I took this. They're actually quite dangerous for something that looks like a giant silly stuffed animal. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Exploring South America This is probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I knew it was going to be pretty beforehand, but I wasn’t really prepared for the non-stop grandeur of the landscapes. We chose the perfect time to go, right in the middle of Autumn. The backpacking took about twice as long as expected. I couldn’t stop myself from holding up every few minutes to set up for another photo. It was irresistible! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
River to the Maelstrom To honor ReadWriteWeb and its founder, the great Richard MacManus, I decided to post a new photo from his homeland of New Zealand today.On the way to Milford Sound, there are a variety of little rivers that twist and turn into the mountains. I didn't have nearly enough time, but I did a small amount of hiking to find some good compositions. - Trey Ratcliff There's a ton of other stuff in this post, which can be found here at stuckincustoms.com.
About to Explore Milford Sound Milford Sound was one of the three places that everyone in New Zealand told me I had to visit. And after arriving there, I'm glad I did! It was a bit foggy and cloudy while I was there, but it made for a nice mood. The light rain would get a bit annoying on the lens, but we all learn to deal with these little bummer things that happen. Nothing is perfect and nothing is easy... - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here.
The Dock to Forever One of the advantages of going down all the side roads is that you get to find cool places! After leaving Nelson on the South Island, we found a little lake on the map that looked about perfect. After a few hours of meandering, we discovered this place was almost completely empty (just like every place else on the South Island!). Even better, there was a perfect little dock jutting out into the lake.I first took a bunch of shots with my 14-24mm lens... but it was not really getting the dock with the distant valley in the right way. So, I put on my 70-200mm, zoomed in almost all the way, then backed up quite a bit to get the compression effect of the valley. Remind me to post the other version someday so you can see the comparison! I haven't processed it yet -- but it is in my "Pile to Process" -- which is now 22,000 strong.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Rapture The drive to Milford Sound is probably the prettiest in the world. The landscapes were just outrageous. It's a 2-hour drive, but it took me about 5! Along the way, the clouds and sun were doing some crazy things. I drove down to the beach to grab this scene, just at the perfect time. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Violent Volcano I thought this mountain and cloud formation was too perfect to ignore. Clouds always do strange things when they pass over mountains, but this one seemed particularly violent and unexpected.This is not actually a volcano. it's just a regular old mountain in the Andes that had a nice little volcanic shape. I skirted around it for a while (skirting is quite a trek at this radius), until the angle seemed about right... although I had to skirt fast before the clouds changed. I have always wanted to take a photo of a volcano that is erupting. I climbed up part of a volcano that was erupting in Costa Rica, and you could see the red rocks, but I got absolutely zero good shots. Oh well... some day!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Worst Way to Cross the River After we set up camp in a little wooded area, we headed off to see if we could get to one of the glaciers by sunset. This is near Cerro Torre, a region that is disputed between Argentina and Chile. I didn't see much of a dispute while I was there -- no armies or anything. I did see some wayward Guanacas, but I was not sure which side they were on.I walked along the river until I got to a stopping point, where I got stuck. I couldn't cross because it was too sketchy, even for me. So I set up here to prepare for the sunset. This was shot about two hours prior to the sunset while I was exploring the area. I'll be sure to edit the other photos soon (ish) and get them up!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
