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 […]

One from the Archive
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – One from the Archive Here’s an image back from when I was first playing with drones. Back then you had a GoPro attached to it and sent it off on its journey, pretty much guessed the shot and brought it back. You never knew what you’d get until later. It was lots […]
Exploring Koh Samui by Air
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Koh Samui by Air Launching the quadcopter from a boat is always a bit nervy but the real problem is getting it back onto the boat when you’re done exploring. I would be lying if I said I’ve been successful every time… 🙁 Exploring Koh Samui by Air Photo Information Date […]

The Biggest Pool in the Southern Hemisphere
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Passport Sunday… … will now be Passport Monday for this week. Sorry for the delay! Daily Photo – The Biggest Pool in the Southern Hemisphere When I was here on Laucala Island things were pretty sweet! It’s probably the nicest resort I’ve ever visited and I was completely blown away the entire time. I hear […]
Mini-Island in Wanaka
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Mini-Island in Wanaka I flew my drone out as far as I could to get this image. I think you can go camping out here at night… that sounds incredibly fun and romantic. I’d love to give it a try. That reminds me I need to get all new camping gear because […]
Droning over Waiheke Island
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Droning over Waiheke Island What a beautiful little island this is? For those of you that don’t know, this island is just a short ferry ride from Auckland in New Zealand. It’s not a huge island, but big enough to hold a bunch of houses and some little towns. This is also […]
The Lagoons in Gisborne
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Hilarious South Park Behind the Scenes God these guys crack me up… This human centipede episode is one of the best. It’s really about automatically accepting all the Terms & Conditions on Apple products, where you really don’t know what you’re agreeing to. Daily Photo – The Lagoons in Gisborne It’s always a bit frightening […]
Singapore from Above
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Singapore from Above I think this looks a little bit like a bra for two very different breast sizes. I don’t know why I see that… probably a bit of Rorschach. It actually wasn’t too easy to get to this spot to take the photo because it was pretty much at the […]
Morning in the Bird Lagoons of Gisborne
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Morning in the Bird Lagoons of Gisborne Most of the days in Gisborne were quite moody and full of rain, so as soon as there was a clear morning, I got out the quadcopter to see the beauty from above. On this farm, they created this sanctuary for all sorts of waterfowl. […]
Exploring Krabi
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Krabi Krabi is right on the coast of Thailand and it’s a fun day to take out a boat and explore all the little islands. This is a cool secret bay that you can’t see when you’re zooming by this island so I decided to get the quad up in the […]
Along the East Coast of the North Island
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Along the East Coast of the North Island Man, I just can’t remember the name of this place. It’s about an hour north of Gisborne and it seemed like the perfect time to get out the quad. There is this ridiculously long dock whose purpose I can’t quite discern. It’s not like […]
Over 7 Dials in London
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
A Short Film Here’s something a friend sent me…It’s called “IN SHADOW – A Modern Odyssey.” It’s really well done… maybe a bit disturbing for the faint of heart out there but still awesome. Daily Photo – Over 7 Dials in London I’m pretty sure this shot was 100% illegal, but I didn’t really ask […]
Visiting the Floating Markets in Langkawi
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Visiting the Floating Markets in Langkawi One day, we jumped out on a boat to go through the archipelago to visit some floating markets. These places are totally unique and they sell a wide variety of things, only half of which I can identify. Some of the veggies and fruits and stuff […]
Over Sintra
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Over Sintra This is the first spot we took people during the Portugal workshop in Sintra. We were staying there in the Ritz-Carlton, and it was quite cool because there were many ruins within walking distance. You can see a bit of the old Roman aqueduct there on the top. Obviously, they […]

Above Tunnel Beach in Dunedin
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Wild Iboga Ceremony I’ve gotten really into this show called Hamilton’s Pharmacopia. I’ve probably seen about 10 episodes now, and I just watched this one about an Iboga ceremony in Gabon. This looks way more intense that other ones I have done, some of which you can hear about on my podcast page. Daily Photo […]
Over the Remarkables
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Over the Remarkables I need to get my drone up more to take photos! This is a view from where i fly sometimes… the area is more restricted now but there are still several places for you to fly. With the zoom function on the Mavic, I can still kinda get the […]
Morning Winery Tour on Waiheke Island
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Morning Winery Tour on Waiheke Island When we stayed on Waiheke for a few days, we ended up heading over to try out a few different wineries. I don’t have a perfect memory, but I seem to remember this beach was the home to Man o’ War wineries. I didn’t know what […]
