The powdery white hot sand between your toes is right out of a science fiction world that should not exist. It’s easy to get lost out here as every hill looks like the last.

What an epic outfit. Well done little kid, well done! We all know your mom was like “wear a standard dress like me” and you were like “no, i am an individual!”. You’ll go places for sure.

I have a theory that almost any picture can be improved by the inclusion of an umbrella, or parasol. Go on, try it. You’ll see.

Here’s that good old trick of using a long lens to suck the distant hills around the playa right up to the action. Fun! 🙂

I think I took this on top of a Ritz-Carlton or Marriott. They were kind enough to let us up there for a quick photo session one evening when we were on the 80 Stays tour. Thanks again cool RC/Marriott people 🙂

Antarctica – an epic place without scale or relativity. Somewhere on this terrible volcano are the remains of a jetliner, which crashed after taking off from New Zealand on a sight-seeing tour. I was on another plane, a CL-130, when I took this. The “”L”” means it lands on skis. It has no proper windows to speak of, but I managed to befriend the loadmaster who got me into the cockpit for take-off. Quite by chance, there was a polar sunbow that appeared over this most dreadful and awesome of volcanos. There is nothing that erupts new earth as close to the Antarctic pole, so to soar over it in peace was surreal. The white sun seemed to welcome everyone below and above.

From Series 1 of my fine art prints. Available in a limited edition at 2.5meters by 1.9meters. More info at TreyRatcliff.com.

I was having to think back a bit into my travels for an interview I was doing yesterday, and it sent me down a rabbit hole that ended in Bali. Here’s one of the Ritz-Carltons over there and the view I had from my room. Hopefully I can share that interview next week, it was quite fun. 🙂
