I saw this rather unusual tree in Thailand. Obviously, this growth pattern was engineered by humans, but I can’t exactly figure out how they did it. Living on a beach can be a little bit boring, I assume. There’s not much to do. So maybe some of these people with an engineering mind came up with a novel way to grow a palm tree. I’ve thought of a few different ways to make a tree grow like this, but I’m not sure any of them are correct. I’ve obviously spent a few hours thinking about this and I am not sure it was the best use of my brain. Copyright Trey Ratcliff www.StuckInCustoms.com
One of my favorite kinds of photos is to take photos of other people taking photos. I’ve been taking photos for quite a while now, and I see a lot of people just now getting into the sport. I think it is very interesting to watch how people pose other people to try to get the best shot. There’s always some level of confusion as they move people this way and that. The only problem with these sorts of photos is when they see me with a big camera and then think, “Hey, that guy knows what he’s doing, let me hand him my phone so he can take photos of us!” I always say yes, and then I, of course, try my best to get them a memorable photo.

Here’s another crazy sunset I saw while in Krabi, Thailand at the Ritz-Carlton Reserve. To be totally honest, I felt like a very lazy photographer when I was there. It was just too easy to waltz out of my room, get my bare feet in the sand, and then set up to take a photo. Here’s a fun word for you… Crepescular. That kind of light that is shooting out from the clouds is called “crepuscular” light. I don’t really know why that is interesting other than me enjoying the texture of that word.
