So with the servers down at work, they told us to pound sand. Since it was a nice-ish day, I went to the Peach Arch park on the Canadian border.
Sadly no passport so I couldn't actually cross over - but I suppose technically I was 50 feet into Canada, so there you go.

"Boquillas International Ferry - Your Ride to the Other Side".
It took this fellow less than a minute on this day, when the Rio Grande was moving pretty steadily, to row us from Mexico to the United States. Still, I bet he was pretty sore by the end of the day.
This is the home-made ferry used to carry US tourists into Mexico and residents of Boquillas del Carmen, Coahuila, into th US for work. Unfortunately, this unofficial border crossing was closed in the aftermath of 9/11. This puts a tremendous hardship on the residents of Boquillas del Carmen who are dependent on access to the National Park for work and on cross-river tourism for income. Now, Mexicans wade across the river to the U.S. side at favorite tourist spots to sell tourist trinkets. Once a park ranger or an immigration official approaches, they just wade back across the river. How that improves homeland security, I do not know. (Taken in December 1997)
Update January 2011: Mexicans now leave small displays with one or two dozen items close to the river with a recycled plastic bottle for "donations." Sellers come across the river on horseback on a regular basis to check on their displays and to pick up the money. According to press reports, the small border crossing at Boquillas will be reopened in April 2012.

This is just inside the US border, near Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. There is only a vehicle barrier along this section of the border. The vehicle barrier has been very successful in preventing vehicles from crossing the border. This prime Sonoran Desert area is Congressionally-designated wilderness, and is easily damaged by vehicles.
My Spanish is a bit lacking, but I believe that the sign says something like:
Caution!
-Don't expose yourself to the elements-
It's not worth the trouble.

Photo taken on the Egyptian side of the border with Israel this is the only land crossing between these two countries for tourists and it is located on the Gulf of Aqaba, it is a location that you basicly have to see with your own eyes, because you can see four counties in one look, never realised that it was so close. Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, The Egyptian Customs and Border police are very friendly, coorperative and have great decency, the Israelian Border police are rude, arrogant and very uncooperative, i have crossed a few borders in my life and one was between the BRD and the DDR, and the DDR border police had a bad reputation, but they where friendly and cooperative compare to the Israelian,
I followed the news aswell, so i am aware of the problems concerning Israel's securety, but that is no card blanche for this kind of behaviour and crossed more borders between countries who are not so friendly with each other, but treat you mostly with respect
End of the rainbow? This is the Armagh-Monaghan border crossing between the Republic of Ireland and the North in the winter of 1976, at the height of The Troubles. Now, more than 40 years on, the consequences of Brexit continue to dominate Ireland's political agenda and the border is as relevant now as it was in those faraway days.
I took this photograph with a Topcon RE Super 35mm camera with Kodakolor II film. There's more material from the same era here.

Portable rapid spectroscopic technologies—which analyze the dispersion of an object’s light to determine the object’s chemical or molecular composition—may hold the key to a new era of product-safety screening. By allowing investigators to screen products earlier in the supply chain, these portable devices could significantly cut risks from contamination or counterfeiting of medicines, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and perhaps even foods.

Rosh HaNikra border crossing
Rosh Hanikra was the location where Israeli and Lebanese officials negotiated and concluded an armistice agreement in 1949 which ended the Lebanese-Israeli component of the 1948 War of Israeli Independence. A border passage across the Blue Line into Lebanon at the site is sometimes used by UNIFIL personnel.

They still exist, all these borders and they avoid that most of the people of this world are really free.

Despite the looks of this less than welcoming gate, I've always found the Canadian people to be very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. This was my third trip to Canada and I've always had such great times while I'm there. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to the Great White North! I'm really missing those beaver tails!
The border crossings between America and Canada are actually very quick and efficient to pass through and the guards on both sides are friendly but, at the same time, firm. I prefer walking over the Rainbow Bridge since the lines for cars tend build up.
The irony of the situation was that this border was on the front line between the West and the East in the Cold War.
The closely guarded borders and walls that marked that era in Europe are being recreated as the continent let's it fear of refugees get the better of it.
September 2010
Marfa, Texas is a town approximately 1.6 square miles of land and 0.0 square miles of water, 863 households, and 555 families in the high desert of far West Texas. Population of 2,121 at the 2000 census. Median income per family thereabouts $32,328. Best known as the movie backdrop for such films as 'Giant' (1956), starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, and Dennis Hopper. 'No Country for Old Men' (2005), starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin. And, 'There Will Be Blood' (2006), starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
Ask any law-abiding Texan where Marfa is, and most can't say. Ask some non-law abidin' Texans where Marfa is and you might expect to hear, 'Hell, and that be where the Reverend "JJ" abides.' They'd be right too. Marfa is home to Rev. Johnny James "JJ" Gabrielle, husband, father of seven, Evangelical (fundamentalist) pastor, and bounty hunter. "On the Lord's day I pastor to those looking towards salvation. Monday thru Saturday I collect lost souls hiding from the eventuality of their destiny. I never close."
During the past two decades there was probably 300 or 400 people that Rev. "JJ" Gabrielle has chased down and locked up. "Most of what bounty hunting about is just a matter of finding' 'em. They don't want to go; but once they get caught, they're usually pretty easy to get along with." — "I have built up a good reputation stokin' the fires of Hell separatin' lost souls from the eternal embers in my pastoral duties and bounty hunting. Some fellers would find out I was chasing 'em, they just go put themselves in jail. Maddie (JJ's wife of 36 years) reckons they ("skips", bail jumpers) do this to avoid listening to me singing gospel hymns on the drive back to jail. We evangelicals were born to sing the praises of the Lord… , [laughter… from inside the diner]. It is a great pity if you don't sing hymns with a theological content; you will not learn to articulate theological truths," Rev. JJ says. "The Lord works in every way of life," he adds. "Just tell the truth. Just be honest."

I took a bus between Hong Kong and mainland China. It was quite an interesting experience. On the Chinese side of the border crossing there was a bus terminal.
This is what the Tijuana-San Ysidro border crossing (Known to local residents [on both sides of the border] and frequent crossers as La Linea "The Line") looked like in 1969 – outdoors (but under a roof), and very basic. I can't show you what it looks like now, the Customs & Border Protection Gestapo police forbid any photos (even non-flash...) inside the border crossing building that now exists, citing "security concerns". (Huh? All a terrorist would have to do is walk through a couple'o times, rubbernecking...)

The following paragraph applies to the next three shots (in my photostream) as well:
Scanned by a now forgotten scanner model (not my current Epson V700...) into my computer and uploaded to a Yahoo group, then downloaded to my current computer (the old one with the original file on the hard-drive is down) and uploaded to Flickr®.
Geotag is approximate - they've re-built over this spot, and my memory of the shot (and the next three...) is 45 years old!... (as of 2014)
