Live Video Chat Thursday Evening in the USA
The video chat is tonight, Nov 19th! Come join us at tinychat.com/stuckincustoms. Everything begins officially at 7 PM CST (5 PM PST). I know we have people joining from ALL over the world. Sorry I don't have local times for everyone, but I know people around here are smart enough to do the addition in their heads, I hope! :)

I'll start it out with a little announcement that should be fun for everyone!

The Newsletter is Off

We sent off the free Newsletter yesterday. I notice that one of the previous newsletters was opened by over 200% of the people who were on the list! That means that most people forwarded it to at least one person. That's great. I always try to fill it with pretty pics... so they are the kinds of things that are fun to forward to people that like pretty pictures. And who doesn't like those?
Daily Photo - And then I hiked through the Autumn Trees to find the Glacier

I wasn't exactly hiking in the safest spot in the world, when I stopped to take this shot. But the tripod helped! I tend to use it like a hiking stick sometimes. I was hiking through a pretty area of southern Argentina in a bitter rainstorm. You can't see the rain here because I left the shutter open for so long, but you can see the heavy clouds, hanging just a bit over the Perito Moreno glacier.

A cool waterfall to relax at during the hike, and a new Newsletter!

During the hike through the Andes, I would vacillate between sweating hot and frigid cold. Sometimes, things would be just about perfect and an idyllic waterfall like this one would emerge from the Eden-like trail. It was the perfect place to take a load off in the cool water for a break.

Well, there was enough negative feedback yesterday that I have decided to remove the ads. There were little ads that would appear whenever you "mouse over' the photo. But some people found them annoying, and I have taken them off. The rates seemed to be better than google adwords and they were projected to bring in several hundred per month. But, alas, it's not worth making the site ugly or upsetting the readers.

We do have a new Newsletter! I invite you to sign up for it. It's free and should be something fun for your inbox.

Here is what we are aiming for the newsletter to contain.

- Any upcoming news, events, or plans about Stuck In Customs, so you can be the FIRST to know!
- A collection of fun links that I find/post on Twitter, neat finds, and other things to inspire you.
- Advanced secret links to upcoming reviews so you can be the first to see and provide feedback! !! This is a cool one, eh?
- A review of the latest, most interesting photos.
- A nice, compact, beautiful email that you can share with your family and friends. These are just the sort of pretty emails that can make you popular in your email circle o' friends.

About to cross the stream on the hike, approaching the blue glacier




Image by Stuck in Customs

This is about 20km into our backpacking. The fertile soil from recent glaciation sprang colorful life everywhere, even as the valley was changing colors for autumn. Little streams trickled here and there and fell into larger streams. Fording some of these was always a little sketchy when carrying a bunch of expensive camera equipment, but it was always worth it.

I can't explain how often I stopped to take photos along this hike! I am sure it took about 4x as long as needed, but that was the point of the whole trip, after all...

If you zoom into the large or ( original size ), you can see the glowing blue glacier there, spilling out from between the edge of the Andes.
