The Peace Arch border crossing at 6:40 am with only one lane open. The small obelisk to the left of the line up is the actual international boundary.
The opposite side of the Arch bears the words, "Children of a common Mother" less true today than when the Arch was erected but the sentiment remains.
The Peace Arch is a monument situated on the Canada – United States border between the communities of Blaine, Washington and Surrey, British Columbia. The Peace Arch, which stands 20.5 metres (67 ft) tall, was built by Sam Hill and dedicated in September 1921, and commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. The monument is built on the exact United States – Canada boundary, between Interstate 5 and Highway 99, in the grass median between the northbound and southbound lanes. The Peace Arch has the flags of the U.S. and Canada mounted on its crown, and two inscriptions on both sides of its frieze. The inscription on the U.S. side of the Peace Arch reads "Children of a common mother", and the words on the Canadian side read "Brethren dwelling together in unity". Within the arch, each side has an iron gate hinged on either side of the border with an inscription above reading "May these gates never be closed".

November 22, 2023- Niagara Falls, NY- Governor Hochul at scene of a possible car bombing at United States/ Canadien border in Niagara Falls ( Mike Groll/ Office of Governor Kathy Hochul)
The border patrol agent kneeling down was bit mystified by a large group of university students looking through a gap in the US-Mexico border fence.
He said that this particular hole was cut by a powersaw. He said that no matter how hard they try to patrol, holes like this will always get made.
This is as close to Canada as one can get without going through customs. This was at the northern reaches of Lake Champlain.
This sculpture was seen at the Canada- US border (Peace Arch)
To me this photo represents how incomplete the hopes and dreams of American young lives. In my opinion I believe the artist chose a frame because, he/ she believes that in order to put a picture on a frame in must represent something. To put an uncompleted frame, represents something different. Most frames treasure a beautiful memory, that speaks to us with a million words in the future. This to me, only speaks disaster, as there is no life in the frame, it's incomplete and it doesn't reminiscent anything.
BEST SEEN IN LARGE SIZE.
The Mexico / U.S. border is visible from many different locations in and around Jacumbra, CA.
This tower and earthworks are all that survive of the barracks, guardroom and cells of Fort Mississauga. Built between 1814 and 1816 to replace Fort George, it was garrisoned until 1826. It was maintained until 1854 in response to border disputes with the United States, and manned during the American Civil War and the Fenian scare of 1866, but by 1870 it was no longer considered of military value.
