A Chilly Morning in Boston Common I had an 8 AM meeting in Boston but woke up round 6 to go walk around the Boston Commons and frolic in the snow. There was no frolicking involved. There was a lot of freezing involved, and it reminded me of a bad morning I had in Kiev with a gypsy cab in a blizzard. I wanted to get down to the harbor for some some other sunrise shots, but did not end up with time… but maybe that’s a good thing because it would have been even colder down there!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Most Beautiful Road in the World I found it!I've looked at travel guides and driven on a ton of beautiful, scenic roads all over the world, but I think this road to Queenstown (on the way to/from Glenorchy) is the most beautiful in the world. The road winds down one side of a perfect, fjord-like lake, and every few kilometers, the mountain views change dramatically. Depending upon the time of day you travel it, the entire landscape transforms before your eyes.Wonder what it looks like on the other side of the lake? You won't believe that it is in the same place! See this photo called Mountainstorm that I took on a previous trip to this location. It was shot later in the evening, so I wasn't able to properly capture the road that time.What's the prettiest road you have ever found? I've seen conflicting guides of the most beautiful roads in the US... I'm sure everyone has their opinion... I'd love to know what you think!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Ultimate Carnival I've been to Disney World many many times, but this is my first time as a grown-up to Disneyland. I always feel strange, by the way, calling myself a grown-up! Disneyland has two parks on the premises. This one is from California Adventures, the second and newer park. Towards the backside, there is this perfect street, full of carnival-like activities. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
To Another World There are no short days at Disney! They are all long escapades, filled with happiness, crying, sticky fingers, strollers hitting you in the achilles tendons, and scary people that should not really be allowed to the buffet area. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at stuckincustoms.com.
Balloons at Disney I've been trying to capture a shot of balloons at Disney forever... it took a while before I found something with which I was happy! Do you know these balloons cost $10? TEN DOLLARS! A ten dollar balloon... but they do light up. So that's kinda cool. What isn't cool is that you have to buy one for every single kid in your retinue. One other cool thing (kinda secret) is that if it ever goes flat or pops, you can bring it back to get a free one. Technically, you could even bring it back the next year and still get a new one. This might go against the spirit of the deal, but it is a ten dollar balloon for the love of Disney-god. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at Trey Ratcliff's travel photography blog, Stuck in Customs.
Santa Monica Boulevard You know those images we all have of Los Angeles, California? Pretty roads, lined with palm trees, people on roller skates, and convertibles driving by without a care in the world? Well that is only about 1% of Los Angeles. The rest, sadly is not terribly exciting. But, why not go ahead and take photos of the top 1%? Yes, that's what we do as photographers. So, this is one of those pretty bits, right near the beach in Santa Monica, one of the prettier areas of Los Angeles. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Lego Dragon There are these Lego stores popping up everywhere it seems. That's okay with me... Who doesn't like a good Lego set? This one is just outside the Lego Store at Downtown Disney in Orlando. They have a few of those gigantic Lego beasts that were mysteriously built. Anyone that is sensible knows that it takes many hours to build something roughly the size of a human hand. So, these monstrosities must be either built by aliens or an army of industrious Germans that parachute in during the wee hours. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Park Through the Sky Isn't this park awesome? It is an elevated park that weaves along top of New York City. Hardly anyone knows about it! Of course, people in New York know about it, and they assume that everyone else should know too. It's relatively new -- I think it only opened a few years ago. It's called "High Line Park", and it used to have freight trains that ran up and down it back in the 1930's. That train service is dead, and they converted the entire thing into a long, meandering park. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Tori Gate What a perfect post-storm dusk! I was going photo-crazy.This is a replica of the exact same place I have been near Nikko, Japan. The Nikko one is quite hard to shoot! There are many things in the way, and setting up for the ideal shot is no easy matter. Plus, when I was in Japan, the sky was not so great that evening. It's the luck of the cards sometimes!But this evening in Disney World was ultra-perfect. Epcot is the park that has all the little international areas. Japan, Germany, France, etc etc. It's all a little silly and fake -- but it's also very cool and scenic! I don't know how it can be both... but it is. Those Disney imagineers do an incredible job of making things look dreamy. I do the best I can to capture the magic as I saw it.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
