This image is a collage of photographs I've taken in the border region of Tijuana and San Diego. I put this together as a kind of rough digital sketch of urban texture. I'm interested in visualizing the tension between U.S. and Mexican cultural landscapes, the complicated relationships between people, products, and the land.

My Border Collie Nic.
12 Months for Dogs - Since this month's theme is Ready, Set, Action, I decided that this would be a good time to share a video of my Nic. I love of all the details that can be seen in slow motion video. Fortunately for me, Nic is a very cooperative model! :-)
I am still thinking about what I will do for my photo for this month.
The small town of Glynneath at the top of the Neath Valley marks the border of Neath Port Talbot, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Powys, and has no less than four operators providing local bus services - First Cymru (X5), Stagecoach in South Wales (8), 1st Call (X75) and Community Transport provider DANSA (161, 162 & 165).
First Cymru's Service X5 (Glynneath-Resolven-Neath-Swansea) was upgraded last Spring with a pool of new Wright Streetlite Max DFs based at Port Talbot depot, replacing 55 and 56-plate Wrightbus Eclipse Urban-bodied Volvo B7RLEs. These carry the three-tone blue and gold 'interurban' version of corporate livery with CYMRU CLIPPER / CLIPIWR CYMRU fleetnames.
Representing these in this May 2014 view is 63088, climbing Rhigos Road to the Pontwalby Bridge terminus, which is a bespoke area of land that enables vehicles to reverse.

Postcard showing the border checkpoint in Vaals, Netherlands. Germany is over the border. This is postmarked 1956.
This is a little less intimidating than passing from West to East Berlin used to be when I was there in the 1980s – note the tram tracks in this view. The street scene is not very much changed, although there are now no formalities at the frontier.
Finally done...
This MOC was originally built for BrickCon 2008 and has sat in a "Mostly finished state for over a year taking over my LEGo table. It's time it goes, so I finished it off quick and here it is.
I'm not particularly proud of the castle, but I think most of the landscping came together quite nice.
There are alot of details in the gallery/set.
Hokay, so here's the story I worked up in my head:
This small border outpost was attacked by some rabble during the winter, only causing some damage to the front wall and burning the barracks.
Now spring has come and the baron in charge of the area is able to pay a visit. He is coming to check up on the progress of the new barraks, while the town patriarch wished to discuss paving the courtyard to quell the mud...
The miller takes a break upon the arrival, while the Inn maid and stableboy finish their tasks.
Not even the stable boy is aware of the secret passage under the stable.
The diorama features a working waterwheel and millstone, secret passage, and more than enough rockwork to drive me crazy...

One of the 4 area Borders locations that are going out of business, this location is near Wake Forest and Six Forks Rd. Once the going out of business sales are finished the Triangle will be left with just 1 full size Borders and a Borders Express within the RDU airport terminal.
Many years ago a Big Star grocery store was located in this space.
In 1938 Czechoslovakia mobilized against the German threats of war, but hat to give in to the Munich Agreement and withdraw from the border fortifications, even if the army was fully capable to stand against the Wehrmacht. After this not only Germany, but also Poland and Hungary ripped pieces of land from the country, and there were also extensive fights with insurgents, which cost lives of many Czechoslovak soldiers and gendarmes. Today it´s a tradition to reenact how the situation could be, when we would have defended ourselfs. It´s a fact that Hitler was affraid of the Czechoslovak military, which at that time had better tanks, more heavy guns, and a very effective fortification system. Of course we win in the reenactments :-)
