Until the Cows Come Home. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Until the Cows Come Home. New Zealand. The South Island of New Zealand is absolutely huge. It looks tiny on the map, but it feels as big as California. Something else that makes it feel so big is hardly anyone lives on the South Island, so you can literally drive for hours […]
Remarkables. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Mist and cloud on the mountains… from this far away, it looks like a mist is blowing across the tops of the mountains. It makes it all appear more dramatic than perhaps it really is while you are there. But I guess there is this idea of relative drama. If you are actually there on […]
Lenticulars. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Lenticulars. New Zealand. This is a new area I discovered near Arrowtown and Queenstown in New Zealand. When the grasses get long in the late summer, they move in the breeze. It’s almost like you can see the wind itself while standing there. Those flying-saucer-shaped clouds are quite rare and are called […]

On the Road
