Queenston-Lewiston bridge is an international bridge between Lewiston, NY, USA and Queenston, Ontario, Canada, bridging the Niagara River gorge. It opened in 1962. It is a replica of the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls. This bridge replaced an old suspension bridge that was dismantled in 1963 - only two support columns Owen Morrell's Omega

Crossing the border into Canada from the USA across Rainbow Bridge.

 

To get to Canada from the USA, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, New York USA into Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.

 

Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.

 

There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

Crossing the border into USA The United States of America from Canada across Thousand Islands Bridge

 

The Thousand Islands Bridge international bridge over the Saint Lawrence River connecting northern New York in the United States with southeastern Ontario in Canada. Constructed in 1937, the bridges span the United States-Canada border in the middle of the Thousand Islands region, from which it derives its name.

About this day of the trip

  

Toronto - Thousand Islands - New York: (547 miles)

 

In the morning, we will head to the Thousand Islands to take a Boat Tour of the area (during the summer) or visit the Secret Caverns (during the winter). Before heading home, we will have time to do some duty-free shopping in Canada. We will arrive back at the departure points in New York at about 7:00pm.

 

Thousand Islands, ON An international tourism destination situated between Canada and the United States along the St. Lawrence River. The region takes its name from the more than 1,000 islands that dot the lakes and rivers along this international waterway.

 

Thousand Islands Cruise In addition to taking in the scenery, passengers on boat tours of this area can learn some of the history of the region-- which was once home to pirates and bootleggers-- and enjoy views of some famous spots.

 

Thousand Islands Cruise Breakfast Guests on the magnificent boat tour of the Thousand Islands Region in the gorgeous St. Lawrence Seaway can enjoy a continental breakfast unlike any other. As the boat takes you to some of the famous sights, enjoy a hearty meal.

  

Schenectady, NY

 

Secret Caverns Discovered by a farmer after his cattle wandered into the entrance to cool down, the Secret Caverns are a kitschy and odd alternative to the nearby larger enterprise, Howe Caverns. A 103-step staircase is the only way in or out

Crossing the border into USA The United States of America from the Canada across Rainbow Bridge.

 

To get to USA from Canada, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada into Niagara Falls, New York USA.

 

To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.

 

Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.

 

There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

Disused Slovak border post on Przełęcz Glinka (Glinka Pass), a mountain pass through the Carpathians, elevation 845 m, at the road crossing the border. The green truck in the background is already in Poland.

On 21 December 2007 the control booths were left by border guards under the Schengen Agreement, allowing for free passage.

The author is concerned that the barriers, border guards and customs officers may yet return.

 

This is the one of the border crossings between North and South Cyprus. Metehan border is also known as Agios Dometios. Metehan border crossing is just for vehicles only! Ledra Palace border crossing is for pedestrians only.

NEW PUBLIC ART CAMPAIGN

  

ADVERTISING BY

ARTISTS

 

CECILIA BERKOVIC

STEPHEN ELLWOOD

NESTOR KRUGER

YOKO ONO

   

Curated by

Andrew Zealley

 

February 2007 - April 2008

 

Art Metropole is pleased to announce a new print media program ADVERTISING BY

ARTISTS. Conceived and curated by Toronto artists Andrew Zealley, ADVERTISING BY

ARTISTS comprises four visual artists and five international print publications. The

resulting 16 ad-works will appear over the course of 15 months. Artists participating in

ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS include Cecilia Berkovic, Stephen Ellwood, Nestor Kruger

and Yoko Ono. The original ad-works created for the project are slated to appear in

selected issues of Border Crossings, BUTT, Cabinet, They Shoot Homos Don't They?,

and WIRE. The completion of the project will be documented by a book, published by

Art Metropole, featuring the complete set of ad-works, plus artist and program notes.

 

"ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS is an is an international print-media project conceived

to draw attention to Art Metropole's online presence and services - as well as a vehicle

for the selected artists to express their own ideas," states Zealley. "Over the coming

15-months, we look forward to challenge the conventions of advertising with pure

imagination. The rules? Each ad-work must include Art Metropole's logo and website

address... the rest is... art."

 

Each ad-work in the ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS series will also be featured online at

artmetropole.com - accompanied by online information about the artists and links to

related information.

  

ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS commences with the new issue of Border Crossings (Vol.

26/#1, Winter 2007), the Winnipeg-based contemporary art magazine that has created

a reputation for provocative artist-driven content. The new issue, released on February

2, 2007, features an ad-work by Toronto-based artist, Nestor Kruger, positioned within

the section of the magazine that is occupied by traditional advertisements. Kruger's

ad-work features many of the signifying gestures found in conventional ads, but

without the usual copy. Instead, the ad-work's image (lifted from the internet), is

accompanied by columns of horizontal lines which imply the space normally occupied by

text. A brief dialogue between William F. Buckley and Noam Chomsky is featured in the

print piece.

 

"The pulled caption is a viewer's comment/synopsis of the 1969 debate between

Buckley and Chomsky," explains Kruger. "[It's something] that I watched on youtube."

 

Each of the artists selected to participate in ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS are renown for

their media savvy - from Stephen Ellwood's sophisticated installation text works and

book-works, and Cecilia Berkovic's cultural/information-based imagery, to Yoko Ono's

famous global media campaign like WAR IS OVER (IF YOU WANT IT) and IMAGINE

PEACE.

Arts Council, as well as private donors for their support.

Crossing the border into USA The United States of America from the Canada across Rainbow Bridge.

 

To get to USA from Canada, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada into Niagara Falls, New York USA.

 

To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.

 

Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.

 

There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

We had to get out of our car and walk across - no explanation given. Safety I guess. That's our guide in right foreground carrying the sheaf of papers that is our stack of travel permits. On the bridge is our hired car, a sturdy Toyota Crown sedan.

 

A new bridge, looking almost completed, is just 100 meters or so upstream (to the right in this photo).

 

There is an official looking Army checkpoint on this side of the bridge. Our paperwork was in order and we crossed with no problems.

 

UPDATE: I spotted a military pillbox on the far side of the bridge. See note and see larger size photo although it's still pretty small.

It was fun being in Israel during the holiday of Sukkot and seeing the sukkah everywhere. This one was at the border crossing from Eilat, Israel into Taba, Egypt at the eastern edge of the Sinai peninsula. That seemed particularly appropriate, as the holiday commemorates the time the Israelites spent wandering in the Sinai desert. We crossed over into Egypt for dinner just so we could say we had been there. It was definitely a Cultural Experience.

The underside of an international bridge between Lewiston, NY, USA and Queenston, Ontario, Canada, bridging the Niagara River gorge. It opened in 1962. It is a replica of the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls. This bridge replaced an old suspension bridge that was dismantled in 1963 - only two support columns remain of that bridge in Artpark as part of Owen Morrell's Omega.

 

This was a fun challenge. Even my 11 - 16 mm Tokina could not fit enough in so I did a two-frame stitch to elongate the bridge and show more of it. And since the exposure against the sky was also too much for the dynamic range of my camera, I also threw in HDR. More computer work than I prefer followed but it all fit in place.

The border crossing between Tecate, CA and Tecate, BCN, Mexico, seen from the Mexican side of the border. One notes the (relative!) lack of security in this pre-9/11 shot. (taken 9/9 or 10/2001) Taken by an Olympus OM-1MD with a Zuiko 50mm ƒ1.8 on Fujicolor Superia 400. Exposure unrecorded and long forgotten. Negative scanned into computer by an HP G4010.

 

Yellow splotch on the upper left is on the negative - possibly a light leak of some sort, or an artifact of storage for 9+ years in less than ideal conditions.

Checkpoint Charlie is the best known of the former border crossing stations between East and West Berlin.

In October of 1961 Soviet and American tanks faced off against each other here during the Berlin Crisis. Thankfully the situation was resolved peacefully.

The checkpoint ceased to mean anything official with the fall of the Berlin Wall, though today it serves as a tourist attraction and has a nearby museum.

 

This shot is looking into the former American sector from East Berlin. The two guys in uniform holding flags are there to get tourists to pay them two euros for a photo with them.

Crossing the border into the Commonwealth of Virginia from Washington, D.C. on Memorial Avenue across Boundary Channel Bridge which goes over the Boundary Channel off the Potomac River into Arlington County Virginia.

 

Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia is the capital of the United States of America since July 16, 1790.

 

Washington, D.C. is not in a state but there is a movement for statehood which would have the name of the 51st state as New Columbia.

 

The state of Maryland donated land to create what is now known as Washington, D.C.

 

Commonwealth of Virginia had also donated land which was returned to Virgina in 1846.

Crossing the border from USA into Canada on foot across Rainbow Bridge.

 

To get to Canada from the USA, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, New York USA into Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.

 

Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.

 

There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

NEW PUBLIC ART CAMPAIGN

  

ADVERTISING BY

ARTISTS

 

CECILIA BERKOVIC

STEPHEN ELLWOOD

NESTOR KRUGER

YOKO ONO

   

Curated by

Andrew Zealley

 

February 2007 - April 2008

 

Art Metropole is pleased to announce a new print media program ADVERTISING BY

ARTISTS. Conceived and curated by Toronto artists Andrew Zealley, ADVERTISING BY

ARTISTS comprises four visual artists and five international print publications. The

resulting 16 ad-works will appear over the course of 15 months. Artists participating in

ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS include Cecilia Berkovic, Stephen Ellwood, Nestor Kruger

and Yoko Ono. The original ad-works created for the project are slated to appear in

selected issues of Border Crossings, BUTT, Cabinet, They Shoot Homos Don't They?,

and WIRE. The completion of the project will be documented by a book, published by

Art Metropole, featuring the complete set of ad-works, plus artist and program notes.

 

"ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS is an is an international print-media project conceived

to draw attention to Art Metropole's online presence and services - as well as a vehicle

for the selected artists to express their own ideas," states Zealley. "Over the coming

15-months, we look forward to challenge the conventions of advertising with pure

imagination. The rules? Each ad-work must include Art Metropole's logo and website

address... the rest is... art."

 

Each ad-work in the ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS series will also be featured online at

artmetropole.com - accompanied by online information about the artists and links to

related information.

  

ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS commences with the new issue of Border Crossings (Vol.

26/#1, Winter 2007), the Winnipeg-based contemporary art magazine that has created

a reputation for provocative artist-driven content. The new issue, released on February

2, 2007, features an ad-work by Toronto-based artist, Nestor Kruger, positioned within

the section of the magazine that is occupied by traditional advertisements. Kruger's

ad-work features many of the signifying gestures found in conventional ads, but

without the usual copy. Instead, the ad-work's image (lifted from the internet), is

accompanied by columns of horizontal lines which imply the space normally occupied by

text. A brief dialogue between William F. Buckley and Noam Chomsky is featured in the

print piece.

 

"The pulled caption is a viewer's comment/synopsis of the 1969 debate between

Buckley and Chomsky," explains Kruger. "[It's something] that I watched on youtube."

 

Each of the artists selected to participate in ADVERTISING BY ARTISTS are renown for

their media savvy - from Stephen Ellwood's sophisticated installation text works and

book-works, and Cecilia Berkovic's cultural/information-based imagery, to Yoko Ono's

famous global media campaign like WAR IS OVER (IF YOU WANT IT) and IMAGINE

PEACE.

I had to wait till we were a bit away from the powerful base of the falls before I could try my first selfie. It was bloody difficult taking the heavy dSLR out from under the dripping wet rain poncho and then aim it at you and try to locate the shutter button with wet, shivering hands, made worse by strong winds. Still, this is the best I could manage. (Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Nov. 2015)
