We were hoping to find these along the track by the River Dart above New Bridge, and we weren't disappointed. This was the first time I'd seen this species*. Unfortunately they pretty much always landed on the ground (or on the very stunted dandelions) so I didn't manage any 'arty' shots.
*As opposed to the small pearl-bordered, which I've seen a few times before and hope to see on the Mendips very soon!
despite many attempts my camera continued to persist to 'catch' Elk's tail in preference to her head .. every time!
Down on the beach today - Elk full of bouncy fun .. this being one of her favourite moves (amongst many!)
Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Tweedmouth in Northumberland, England. It is a Grade I listed railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1850, when it was opened by Queen Victoria. The engineer who designed it was Robert Stephenson (son of George Stephenson). It was built for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway and is still in regular use today, as part of the East Coast Main Line.
The bridge is 659 metres long. It has 28 arches, constructed of brick but aesthetically faced with stone. The bridge is 38 metres above the river itself. In the 1990s it underwent significant repair work for the first time, in a Railtrack project with some funding from English Heritage.
.. although the 'ball' is actually Elk. Paddy finding much more fun chasing an animate (in many senses) objects rather than ones that don't growl back at you!
Mist looking quite 'chilled' out and not from the cold! .. as we sheltered in the lee of the shelter wall at Nan Beild, Chris Firth sitting on the right (comment below!)
Chirk Aqueduct (nearest) and viaduct. To the left is the English county of Shropshire and to the right is Wales. The River Ceiriog in the valley below marks the border.
Chirk Aqueduct is part of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the Llangollen Canal World Heritage site, which stretches from Chirk to the Horseshoe Falls at Llangollen.
This is one of the remotest and most isolated farms I can remember visiting. It's so close to the US border that my cell phone started picking up cell towers in North Dakota. The house's windows still look out onto the great emptiness of the border country.
Near (sort of) Gladmar, Saskatchewan

Along the Mexican/ Californian border great sunrises and sunsets are a fairly common occurrence. Sometimes the skies are a brilliant orange or red. Other times as seen here as a weather front moves in, there is blues and grays.
The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.
