Daily Photo – The Worlds Largest Gramophone Every time I see this gramophone I think I should really look into building one for the garden… well… getting someone to build one for the garden. I’m sure the local sheep (and neighbours) would love me. I wonder just how far away you could hear it… The […]

Queenstown Flyover
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Queenstown Flyover Queenstown has it’s own fairly decent sized airports so often larger planes can be seen arriving and leaving. Helicopters also frequent the area but these old fashioned planes were a real surprise to see a few years ago. Very cool!

Misty Memories
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Misty Memories Man, it’s been so long since I was outside NZ it almost feels like the rest of the world may no longer exist. Not sure when I’ll be able to do a trip like the Camino in Spain again, it’s certainly a complex undertaking at the best of times! One […]

Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Looking Towards Autumn It’s been a really great summer here in NZ, minimal rain and I’ve been able to fit in some fun road trips in the sun. It won’t be long before we start hitting my favorite part of the year though, Autumn… or fall for some of you. Here’s a […]
Exploring Doubtful Sound
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Doubtful Sound This has to be an epic way to explore the Fiordland National Park, doesn’t it? This is down in Doubtful Sound, just around the corner from Milford Sound. You must end each day of canoeing both knackered and exhilarated! Exploring Doubtful Sound Photo Information Date Taken2018-05-08 17:02:36 CameraILCE-7RM3 Camera […]
Patterned Sky
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Patterned Sky Here’s a view across Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. I often share shots of this lake when it’s showing off the amazing blue colour during bright days but on this occasion, it was the cool lines crisscrossing in the sky that caught my attention.

Random Bora Bora Exploration
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Random Bora Bora Here’s a photo from my trip to Bora Bora back in 2014. Back then it was a good old GoPro that you attached to your drone. No built-in cameras on those older models. Changed days now with some great sensors on even on the consumer DJIs. Random Bora Bora […]
Exploring Utah
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Utah I had an awesome time driving through Utah back in 2013. I had a few key destinations mapped out but other than that it was loads of exploring and seeing what caught my attention along the way. This was one of the amazing rock structures I stumbled across. Exploring Utah […]
Sunset over the North Island
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Sunset over the North Island The landscape on the North Island of NZ is vastly different to here around Queenstown on the South. Especially so around the more northern parts, past Auckland… still beautiful though. Especially so at sunset.

Dreaming of the Desert
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Dreaming of the Desert Starting to really think about Burning Man again… it was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 but looks like things will be on for 2022! (Variants permitting) This is one of my favorite sculptures from the last event in 2019 ( Broken but Together by Michael Benisty ). I […]
Peak Lupin
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Peak Lupin It’s getting close to the end of lupin season now in NZ. There are a lot of people who hate them and see them as pests/weeds, but I really like how they look… maybe they’re not as friendly looking as the bluebell and than gets them a bad rap… who […]
Shut Down in Washington
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Shut Down in Washington The last time I was in Washington DC was kind of weird. First it was during a government shutdown, so my plan to visit the Smithsonian was foiled… and then a snowstorm blew in and it got even quieter as most people stayed indoors keeping warm. There were […]
Exploring the Future (and fear of the new)
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring the Future (and fear of the new) I think it’s probably obvious to those who read this blog, even occasionally, that I’m delving deep into NFTs. One of the more interesting aspects of the whole experience has been the negativity towards them from some people. It reminds me a lot of […]
Antarctica from Above
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Antarctica from Above One of the things I enjoyed the most (and there were lots) when in Antarctica was being able to view it from above as we flew about in the various planes and helicopters. It’s hard to know before going how varied it might be. Would it mostly be flat, […]

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 […]

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 […]
