Romantic Evening in the Alps
The best time of day.  (To me.)When you are in a new place and there are too many things to see and do.  There are too many places to eat and explore.  There are too many streets and alleys to visit and photograph.  This is a good thing.  It is a nice feeling of being overwhelmed by it all.  So, in these times, there are no bad decisions.  Just go whichever way the night takes you... get lost and find pretty little things.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zermatt in the Evening
This is one of my favorite times of night while traveling.  It's that blue dusk after a long day.  I'm hungry and tired and just trying to capture a little bit more light before finding some food for the night.This is the town of Zermatt, a cozy little mountain village nestled up in the Alps.  It's charming and filled with all the sorts of things you would hope would fill a little mountain town.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Glaciers of the Alps
Getting to the top of these mountains happened just in time, late on a cool, crisp day on one of my first afternoons in Switzerland.  I knew things would be beautiful way up here in the upper atmosphere, but I honestly did not expect the streaming confluence of flowing ice.  This is always a nice and unexpected aspect of glaciers - how they look like they are flowing and still at the same time.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Bridges in Zurich

I love these old cities that are centered around a river with dozens of little bridges that cross to and fro.  It vexes me why Austin (or hundreds of other cities) have not centered the whole city around the river.  Maybe it has something to do with flooding or something... I'm not totally sure.  But whenever cities try to start a big development around the river later in the city's life, it seems a little bit forced.  There is something very organic around these older cities and the river that feels more right than a master-planned complex.

The Streets of Zermatt
After dinner one evening, I went out with my iPod to explore the streets alone.  There was a light cool rain, but it didn't bother me a bit.  It added to the mood and everything felt great.  The warm cabins, the cool sky, the wet streets, people hurrying to and fro to get warm food and drinks...  I do my best to capture this feeling all in one image.
