"Is he having trouble mum?" "Naw .. now he's got that bigger bag he's much slower for some reason and he keeps having to take it off to look inside it for those pointy things at us"
Paddy and Mist on the narrow at places trod up to Angle Tarn.
Just got a rucksack bag to save my back from the 'over the shoulder' job I've used till now which given the weight was certainly not doing me any good ... trouble is I'm even slower than i was before (grab and dash on the go) .. perhaps thats no bad thing!
23.06.21 - Due to a road closure, buses that would usually head north on North Bridge were diverted via George IV Bridge. Here we see Borders Buses 11919 working an X62.
For reasons of personal safety I decided not to take photo's at the border with Iran, where the road suddenly stops for a huge and firm gate. There is one large very firm gate of the Turks and the other very firm gate is from Iran. Between the gates there are some office buildings of police, custums and army. Nearly every one is armed here. I am glad they were so kind to tell me the way to the Çukuru Meteor Crater, although they looked at me strangely: what's this Dutch guy doing here?
The queue of waiting lorries for the Iranian border is actually more impressive than the meteorite crater. At least 1,5 kilometers of trucks waiting in double rows! There is no shadow (the temperature that day was far over 30 degrees C), only the burning sun and many hours or even days of waiting....
Did you know the Turks are allowed to smuggle 500 litres of petrol from Iran to Turkey each time they pass the border?
When you keep in mind the extremely low prices of petrol in Iran and the Western Europe prices in Turkey you can imagine this "legal smuggling" is a lucrative business.

*[left-double-click for a closer-look - returning from border patrol]
The U.S. Coast Guard is recognized as a leader in the field of search
and rescue. To meet this responsibility, the Coast Guard maintains search and rescue facilities on the East, West and Gulf coasts,
as well as in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
U.S. Coast Guard patrols our southern border
throughout the 90 miles to Cuba and beyond.
*[On a personal note: my younger first-cousin Marty ALWAYS said when we were kids that when he grew up he wanted to work on
the water with the US Coast Guard. Well, he really lived that dream!
He worked for the US Coast Guard for the last 30+ years, enduring moves from Tampa Florida, to Alaska, to Hawaii and back to North Carolina. He will be retiring with many honors within the next year.
Great job, Marty! We're all very proud of you! - Ooh Rah! *salute*]

Paddy .. locked into target (which happened to be his mum ,, not a sheep).
A characteristic of the border collie is the herding eye. It’s been said that “when working, this breed will usually be seen in the crouched position, with their alert eyes fixed on the job in hand. The ‘hypnotic’ eye characteristic is probably more defined in the Border Collie than any other breed and it is this quality which makes them so superb in herding sheep, using their eyes to guide a herd without the need to nip or bark.”
And that “most people admire a dog that works with its head low to the ground, with its hindquarters high and its tail tucked between its hind legs. They can run as fast as the wind, yet stop in an instant or switch directions without stopping. They don’t take their eyes off their sheep. Their intense gaze is focused on the stock, willing them to obey, to go where the dog directs them, to stop if the dog blocks their path. The stock aren’t rushed or afraid, but they certainly respect the dog. A good Border Collie’s obsession is its livestock, and this is as it should be.”
