Lake Waitaki Dam
Another Road Through an Endless Valley I rode down this one with Karen Hutton, Scott Kublin, and Curtis Simmons. Every five minutes they wanted to get out of the car and take a photo. I know the feeling! You see, I already have done this hundreds and hundreds of times… now I only get out on new roads or of the clouds/light is just different “enough”. It doesn’t take much, because there is a lot of variation. And, as most of you know, I’m not one to take a bunch of photos in the middle of a blue sunny day. But, on this day I was!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Church of the Good Shepherd under the Stars This is one of The Darkest Skies in the World. You may find this snippet interesting: “A delegation from the country has successfully petitioned UNESCO for the protection of ‘sky-scapes’ as well as landscapes under their World Heritage system, in order to see the status granted to the air above Tekapo and Aoraki Mount Cook.”If you ever get to this place, you’ll be so shocked that you can see this with the naked eye! It’s certainly worth a visit…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
