Taken on the way into El Paso, Texas. Border Patrol jeep clearly visible. There really isn't much keeping Mexicans on their side of the vast border.
El Border Collie tiene una tendencia innata de “acechar” frente a las ovejas con su tripa pegada al suelo, es “su natural forma de caminar”. Esto junto con la mirada hacen que el Border Collie tenga una apariencia realmente predatoria. Se criaron para desarrollar estas características durante años, pero en la actualidad algunos están siendo adiestrados para permanecer a los pies del pastor y actuar con rapidez si así se les requiere. Aún así ni la mirada ni la actitud de caminar agachado y acechando, se han eliminado y les dan ese aspecto peculiar.
Effective, efficient, indescribably intelligent. Indispensable for herding sheep. The border collie knows by instinct more than a human shepherd can learn in a lifetime!

After the attack on the Government building, the killed embedded agent was found to be a member of a neighboring country’s special intelligence division, and although these two nations used share a strong alliance, they were now at odds, as the neighboring country was proven to be supporting the current uprising within the nation, presumably to help facilitate a puppet government to take power in order to strengthen their grip on the east. Because of this political tension, the two nations were preparing for war. shutting their borders and mobilizing artillery units- whose sights were aimed at the one country that they considered an ally. Things were different now, and getting worse.
Crossing the border into USA The United States of America from the Canada across Rainbow Bridge.
To get to USA from Canada, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada into Niagara Falls, New York USA.
To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.
Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.
There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

The opening of Liberia’s official borders enables economic activities and allows students to attend school. However, it is important to take precautionary measures.
This commercial vehicle is between the two border pillars crossing the border from Guinea to Liberia heading to Voinjama. 16 passengers came down and walked for hand washing and temperature taking.

The Border Collie is a herding dog breed developed in the Anglo-Scottish border region for herding livestock, especially sheep. It is the most widespread of the collie breeds.
Typically extremely energetic, acrobatic, and athletic, they frequently compete with great success in dog sports, in addition to their success in sheepdog trials, and are often cited as the most intelligent of all dogs.

The border between Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland and Co. Leitrim, Republic of Ireland along the northern shore of Lough Melvin. This is very close to the western edge of N. Ireland.
Behind me on the roadside is a memorial to a local man who died on the road in February 1994 'as a result of British Army excavations' - he drowned after falling into a water-filled crater which at that stage blocked the road. There is another memorial to two men who died in similar circumstances further south along the border, between Kiltyclogher and Scribbagh.
All five roads along the Fermanagh / Leitrim border were closed by the British at the height of the Troubles in the 1970s and only reopened in the mid 1990s.

tajik border guard. in retrospect, it was pretty stupid of me to take this photo, especially considering that i had been smuggled into tajikistan illegally and was in the process of being bribed back into uzbekistan (my guide is the guy in red who just paid off another guard who walked back to the uzbek officers). maybe that's why i waited for them to turn their back before i took the photo.
This book of Hours was probably produced in Bruges in 1480-90, as evidenced by the saints in the Calendar. The provenance is not certain, however, since Bayeux and St. Riquier also are attested by the litany and usage of the Office of the Dead. It is illuminated by painters of the circle of Willem Vrelant and the so-called Master of the Black Prayerbook. The lavish full-page miniatures in black-grisailles, as well as the facing opening of the Hours, are enframed with foliate borders and drolleries. Gold paint is used for the details of the illuminations, bringing light to the monochrome scenes. Similarly, the text is enlightened by gold-speckled large initials for the opening of each of the Hours, and small ones for minor divisions of the text throughout the manuscript.

When I photograph dogs at the farm, I don't need any squeaky toys; I get wonderful expressions from the dogs by photographing them while they watch the sheep.
