The Worm (German: Wurm) is a small river or creek at the border between Germany and the Netherlands. This shot is a long exposure of 50" and was taken from the Dutch side.

Zum Bild der Schafherde in der Landschaft gehören die Hütehunde, treue Helfer des Schäfers, ohne deren unermüdliche Arbeit in vielen Fällen die Haltung der Schafe nicht möglich wäre.
This picture is taken in the Netherlands, but this fence is in Germany. The stones are the border between them.
The daily border patrol is an important task and it's something Tofu and Filou often do together. While Tofu checks what's going on in the neighbouring gardens, Filou's job is to cover his back.
Trying to disguise the fact it's a bit of rubbish photo with a big border 😅 Yep, still can't do woodland photography, but it's Treesday and a BH week! Happy short week workers of the world. Well, UK.
Gracias a todos por vuestra visita, amables comentarios y fav/ Thank you all for your visit, kind comments and fav.
Another 'cycle to Scotland' view of the Union Chain bridge looking into Scotland.
With yesterday's announcement that the Scottish National Party is seeking to hold another referendum on whether Scotland should secede from the United Kingdom, these posts may be future border posts (& I would need my passport to cycle over?!).
Border collie puppies for sale at an agricultural show in western Ireland. Momma was on hand to demonstrate her herding skills.... with ducks. I guess if you can herd a duck, you can herd a sheep....?
Just a few miles south of the US-Canadian border, CN 323 rolls north toward Montreal at West Swanton, one of the last communities they will pass before entering Quebec.
Time out on a fellside, both feeling quite content, ... especially Paddy! ... little did he know we were staying the night there sans tent and just a sleeping bag for me .. he spent an open eyed night sheep guarding:)
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
De adelaar is ruim 9 meter hoog en is gemaakt van grof gehouwen stenen. Het is een ontwerp van architect en beeldhouwer Erwin Friedrich Baumann uit Faulensee.
Deze stenen adelaar (Simplon Adler) op de Simplonpass werd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontworpen en gebouwd door Zwitserse soldaten. De adelaar kijkt richting Italië.
Als symbool van de waakzaamheid werd het beeld in het leven geroepen ter herdenking aan de "Wacht op de Simplon" tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog 1940-1945.
Op het monument staat de volgende tekst:
"In de vrijheid van de bergen staat het, een groot memorial van hard graniet:
een memorial van trouwe plichtvervoer, een blijvende herinnering om bereid te zijn en ontwaakt voor onze vrijheid"

The eagle is over 9 meters tall and is made of roughly hewn stone. It was designed by architect and sculptor Erwin Friedrich Baumann from Faulensee.
This stone eagle (Simplon Adler) on the Simplon Pass was designed and built by Swiss soldiers during World War II. The eagle looks towards Italy.
As a symbol of vigilance, the statue was created to commemorate the "Guard on the Simplon" during World War II (1940-1945).
The following text is inscribed on the monument:
"In the freedom of the mountains it stands, a large memorial of hard granite:
a memorial of faithful service, a lasting reminder to be prepared and awake for our freedom."
Paddy never has really liked the wet stuff and treats it with great suspicion, when he has to, he'll walk slowly with disdain shaking each paw as he takes it out of the water, as it gets deeper (to his collywobbles) theres always a perceptual pause :) .... his best ploy is to avoid it all together!!
