Fiordland National Park from Above
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Fiordland National Park from Above I’ve driven up and down this road quite a few times over the years and always found it to be stunning. From the ground the options are fantastic but I got a whole new appreciation for the area when I started chucking the quadcopter up to explore […]
California?
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – California? This photo is tagged “california”, so I have to assume that’s where I took it… but I have no recollection of doing so… and therefore, no idea where in California it is. If it’s even there. Tag your photo’s properly people. It will help you later! California? Photo Information Date Taken2013-04-25 […]
Milan Styles
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I was looking back through my photos from Milan recently and it served as a good reminder of just how much styles can change. Below you’ll find 2 images from my trips to Milan, one from 2006 and one from 2017. Ahhh… 2017, the good old days when travel was easy… 2006 2017 Just a […]

Daily Photo – Stepping Stones in Antarctica
These do look a bit like steppingstones, I think. Probably wouldn’t be wise to use them as such though…

Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Brihadishvara Temple When we toured India a few years ago as part of a wider journey, one of the goals was to visit a range of religious locations. They are always interesting from an architecture point of view but broadening the kid’s knowledge was also beneficial. Here (i think!) is a section […]
Phoenix Ancient Town at Night
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Phoenix Ancient Town at Night If you ever make it to China, try to take a week or so to explore the more rural areas. Some of my best adventures have been outside Beijing, Shanghai and the like. Even the Great Wall is in many ways better in the more overgrown parts. […]
Temple of Psychedelic Awakening, Burning Man
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Temple of Psychedelic Awakening, Burning Man Every year Burning Man has a different “temple” that represents a wide range of spiritual groundings. While not the official temple, this “Totem of Confessions” held some of Timothy Leary’s ashes that Susan Sarandon brought along. I think she just travels with lots of ashes of […]
Guanyin of Nanshan, China
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Guanyin of Nanshan, China The Guanyin of Nanshan is a huge statue of the bodhisattva Guanyin, located on the island of Hainan, just off the coast of China. You can perhaps see how huge it is by examining the size of the average Chinese tourist at its base. This island is a […]

Prambanan, Indonesia
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Prambanan, Indonesia A huge storm was washing over Java just as I arrived here at Prambanan just outside of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. One thing I’ve come to know about big storms in the late afternoon: if you’re patient, you may end up with a crazy sunset. It rarely happens, but if the […]
Cologne, Germany
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I walked into this amazing cathedral and was amazed to see this surrealist scene. On a huge screen, they were showing deep views of the universe while atmospheric Phillip Glass music droned heavily, bouncing and echoing around the stone. People would sit in the pews and just watch slow animations of the universe unfolding. There […]
Hagia Sophia, Turkey
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Hagia Sophia, Turkey The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is like no other religious structure in the world. It was originally the patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople and has gone through many changes over time. For a while, it was the city’s Catholic cathedral and then after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, it […]
The Temple of Heaven, China
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Temple of Heaven, China The Temple of Heaven is one of the most famous pilgrimage destinations for Chinese people who come to Beijing to visit structures upon the central axis. It was originally built in the 1400’s. I was invited by the Chinese government to come take special photos of their […]
The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Spain
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Spain Gaudi’s masterpiece here in Barcelona is probably the most stunning religious structure I’ve ever been inside. I was lucky and I was given special access to a few areas only the Pope gets to visit. He has like is own “Papal Balcony” where he can […]
Kyiv, Ukraine
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Kyiv, Ukraine Ukraine is a strange place to take photos. I was in Kyiv for a few days while on a journey to photograph Chernobyl, so I took some time to wander around the city. It was the middle of winter and the snow was up past my knees. I found this […]
Abu Dhabi, UAE
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I arrived at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque just before the sun was setting and it was absolutely majestic. To get these kind of shots, I need to use a tripod, and I often get in trouble for using my tripod, so I was a bit worried they were going to kick me out. I […]
Worship
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
A new NFT Collection on Foundation Sometimes in moments of fear, or from fear of death, the root from which all fear begins, people turn to faith and religion to try to give it all some sort of meaning. As I’ve traveled around to all seven continents, I’ve talked to many people I meet about […]
