Robson’s was persuaded to take two Leyland Roadtrains Border Ophelia and Border Hamlet as long-term demonstrators, following less than perfect back-up experience with previous big Leylands. Although both were returned to Leyland in December, they had impressed sufficiently to secure an order for 16 similar tractor units from Solway Leyland DAF in Carlisle (26-Jan-25).

Borders Buses No.11307 crosses the junction with Hope Park Terrace and Bernard Terrace on South Clerk Street working service 51 to St Boswells.
Touching sign filled with interesting bits of history about this store, and their philosophy. I first saw this sign in stoneofzanzibar's photos a while back, but had forgotten which store had it. Some items:
"Oak Brook Borders opened over 20 years ago across the street. We were the first (and will hopefully be the last) Borders in Illinois." [Orland Park & Moline were technically the last open.]
"This Borders location has donated more bags of coffee to the troops than any other in the company!"
"One employee even got married in the store by the GM. That's Borders love!"
Interesting fact: I was tipped off that Borders.com was shutting down today; I saw I had an hour left to use a gift card. I'd FORGOTTEN I had an old $10 gift card until after all the stores had closed. I used it about 11 minutes before it expired according to the site, so I wound up one of the VERY last Borders customers! (And yes, have a few photos left to post as of 9/27.)
This image is one of several I held back from my multiple exposure series of Summer/Autumn 2017 for a couple of reasons:
1. I had become uninspired with the options I had at my disposal at that time to develop my ideas further.
2. I needed a reset in my general approach to my photography. So I began from the basics in a simple manner - I ran a few rolls of film using a Nikon FG camera. I was so surprised quite how therapeutic ( and wasteful ) the process proved to be.

American and Canadian flags fly over the "International Flag Plaza" on the Canada side of the border. I think there was a similar installation on the other side? Maybe? Not close enough to get a picture of though.
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 :-)
JURY DISTINCTION FOR CATEGORY 1. OBJECT OF STUDY
Series "My voice in images" 3/5
Copyright CC-BY-NC-ND: the young participants, Sylvia Garcia Delahaye and Lavinia Johnson
We developed “Ma voix en images” (My voice in images), a participatory research method using photography to give children and young people an opportunity to express themselves on social issues and public policies that concern them. As part of an SNSF research project, the method allowed them to express their views on the subject of child poverty. The project benefited from the support of artist Valérie Frossard.
Here is an excerpt from what they said:
Border “In fact, there are people who don't have much money, these are people who want to cross the border but they can't because Switzerland says 'yeah, you don't have enough money so you can't cross'.”
Comment of the jury │Situated in between art and photographic documentation, the series tells a highly expressive and compelling story of social integration and fracture. The creative approach manages to give a voice to those whom we rarely listen to, while protecting their privacy and avoiding an intrusive gaze. A rare visual glimpse into participatory social science, resulting in a set of expressive and hopeful images.

Nous avons développé «Ma voix en images», une méthode de recherche participative qui utilise la photographie pour donner l’occasion aux enfants et aux jeunes de s’exprimer sur les questions sociales et les décisions publiques qui les concernent. Ils ont pu mettre en image leurs perceptions sur le sujet de la pauvreté infantile dans le cadre d’un projet financé par le Fonds national suisse et qui a bénéficié du soutien de l’artiste Valérie Frossard.
Extraits de leurs propos:
Frontière «En fait y’a des personnes qui ont pas beaucoup d’argent c’est des personnes qui veulent passer la frontière mais elles peuvent pas parce que la Suisse elle dit ‘ouais t’as pas assez d’argent donc tu passes pas’.»
Commentaire du jury │ Cette série d’images entre art et documentation photographique nous entraîne dans une histoire poignante d’intégration et de fracture sociale. L’approche utilisée parvient à donner une voix à celles et ceux que nous écoutons rarement, tout en protégeant leur vie privée et en évitant le voyeurisme. Un rare témoignage visuel des sciences sociales participatives qui résulte en des images expressives et teintées d’espoir.

Wir haben mit «Meine Stimme in Bildern» eine partizipative Forschungsmethode entwickelt, die mit Fotografie arbeitet. Sie ermöglicht es den Kindern und Jugendlichen, ihre Meinung zu gesellschaftlichen Fragen und staatlichen Entscheiden auszudrücken. In Bildern hielten sie ihre Gedanken zum Thema Kinderarmut fest. Die Arbeit entstand im Rahmen eines vom SNF finanzierten Projekts, das von der Künstlerin Valérie Frossard unterstützt wurde.
Auszüge aus ihren Äusserungen:
Grenze «Es gibt Menschen, die nicht viel Geld haben und die über die Grenze wollen, aber nicht können, weil die Schweiz sagt 'tja, du hast nicht genug Geld, also kommst du nicht rein'.»
Kommentar der Jury │ Diese Bildserie, eine Mischung aus Kunst und Fotodokumentation, führt uns eine berührende Geschichte von Integration und gesellschaftlicher Spaltung vor Augen. Mit dem verwendeten Ansatz erhalten diejenigen eine Stimme, denen wir selten zuhören, ihre Privatsphäre bleibt jedoch vor Voyeurismus geschützt. Ein seltenes visuelles Zeugnis aus den partizipativen Sozialwissenschaften in Form von ausdrucksstarken, hoffnungsvollen Bildern.
