This is a very newly replanted border . I replanted it about 6-8 weeks before this video was taken.(video dated 20th October 2012)
All the smaller plants are newly planted. There's a mixture of perennials(penstemmons and fuchsias) which will grow much bigger and fill the space next year but I've also planted a few annuals (pelargoniums and bedding dahlias ) just to fill the gaps and provide colour this year
The bigger plants at the end ought to be further back in the border. I had both given last year and didn't realise how big they'd grow. I shall transplant them towards the rear of the border in a couple of weeks .
The long row of green foliage against the house are perennial geranium's which provide a riot of colour for many weeks in spring/early summer. As soon as they finish floweing I cut them down to 2 inches and they flower again 3-4 weeks later.. Every couple of years I need to remove half the thickness of geraniums otherwise they'd cover the whole border!
I trim then again to 2 inches in mid September (4 weeks ago these were strimmed to the ground ) and you can see how amazingly quickly they recover. They'll stay like this all through the winter providing interest,blocking weeds and cover for over wintering insects and flower again next year
United Methodist bishops from all over the world visit the U.S. - Mexico border to immerse themselves in the reality of life at the Southern border of the U.S. and sharpen their focus on how the church can be in ministry to persons residing there. May 7, 2013. Here on the Mexico side of the border, they raise their hands in prayer along with those on the U.S. side of the fence. A UMNS photo by Kathleen Barry

Ventimiglia, border between Italy and France...
06 Dicembre 2000
one day and one night of riot...
border closed!
destination: NICE, against power.
Ventimiglia....primi scontri di una lunga serie...
qualcuno è riuscito a superare i confini con un po di furbo autostop, mimetizzandosi con gli altri...
la gran parte ha occupato l'autostrada per metà nottata, dopo una mattinata di scontri e freddo...
prima di un'altra.
.lì ti ho conosciuto.....mannaggia a me!
Whoops, another late entry... and not what I was aiming for either!
For Bokeh Thursday;
lots more borders here than you may at first think! I half filled the shot glass with water dyed blue and stuck it in the freezer! Put red dye in some warm water ready to pour on top of the frozen shot glass. with the prep done the glass was lit from underneath and from one side in front of a star curtain. the obvious borders and boundaries are;
Light-Dark, Red-Blue, glass-water, water-Air, cold-warm. the not-so-obvious is the one the wife came up with... bordering insanity!!!

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.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy sky on the day.
Even if it opened after I moved away, seeing my hometown Borders close is really sad. Ames only has ISU bookstores now
Ontario-Manitoba border, looking from Ontario. (But where is the actual line? The road is obviously paved differently up to a point just behind our car and the small fence and white-over-green diamond marker to mark end of fence is a very Ontario thing (never saw it in Manitoba). The "100" speed limit sign, though is in the style one would see in Manitoba (plus, the speed is 100 in Manitoba as opposed to 90 in Ontario)
On November 16th 2012 the beta edition of the new Border Sessions Festival took place in The Hague, the Netherlands: speakers, authors, philosophers and thinkers examined the impact of new technologies on society and vice versa. The festival’s goal is to let visitors become inspired, get ideas, meet interesting people and just as importantly: have a really fun day.

Op vrijdag 16 november vond de beta-editie van Border Sessions plaats. Crossing Border is een nieuw festival, verbonden aan Crossing Border, waarin sprekers, auteurs, filosofen en denkers de invloed van nieuwe technologieën op de maatschappij en vice versa onderzoeken. Het doel van het festival is dat bezoekers geïnspireerd raken, ideeën opdoen, nieuwe interessante contacten leggen en net zo belangrijk: gewoon een heel leuke dag hebben. Het festival is met name gericht op professionals uit het bedrijfsleven, overheid, NGO’s, internationale sector en de creatieve sector. Plan is om dit festival elk jaar te laten plaatsvinden in Den Haag.

Hinterland Urbanisms.
Andean Hub.

The IIRSA Andean Hub is defined by a north-south corridor crossing Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Some 104 million inhabitants occupy the region of the Hub, yet the IIRSA projects are centered in remote undeveloped border conditions. This reinforces the emergent hinterland urbanism quality. The reserach and project explores the possibilities of contemporary infrastructure in this hub and yields two essential observations:
1) border stations are an opportunity to reconsider how energy, specifically hydroelectric, is stored, distributed and catalytic with development, and 2) the north-south orientation of the hub and its attendant geography, allows for a linear energy corridor. We call these the “power station” and “superline,” respectively.
WEATHER = WATER = POWER. Ten percent renewable sources of energy, established as a worldwide goal for 2010, is already a reality in Latin America, but that has been achieved mostly through large-scale hydroelectric dams. Around 23 percent of Latin America’s total primary energy supply comes from renewable sources, including hydroelectric dams, according to the ECLAC study “Energy sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean: the share of renewable sources,” published in October 2003. Likewise, the Andean region is rainy, yielding some 2500mm annually in more than 30% of its territory. Although precipitation is unpredictable. What if an infrastructure were able to flex and anticipate river flow and rainfall dynamic? The overarching ambition of our proposal is to produce a new model of energy hub that integrates border conditions and ecosystems. Water becomes the binding element of energy, nature, economy, and hinterland eco-development.
POWER BORDERS. Significant to the suite of investment projects planned for the Andean hub, we have identified the following as offering the most potential for new innovative design thinking: border stations, electricity and interconnection, and hydroelectricity stations. The possibility exists to intersect these investments to yield a new model of border crossing and subsequently, a new border energy city. IIRSA is currently seeking: 3 new border stations and 2 power connections at the border of Venezeula and Colombia; 2 border stations, 3 power connections, and 1 hydro-electric stations at the Colombia and Ecuador; 2 border stations, 1 power connection, and 2 hydro-electric stations. Each of these three border conditions offers the catalytic need and opportunity for the first “power stations” in the Andean superline energy system.
ANDEAN SUPERLINE. With the Pan-American Highway providing a model for linear infrastructure, the opportunity for a linear power corridor is potent. The Andean superline would be served primarily by hydroelectric stations and power connections.
In response to the already increasing hydropower in the region, the Andean superline could bundle and integrate other renewable energy sectors such as solar, wind, and geothermal.
BIODIVERSITY. The Andean Hub is a significant ecologically sensitive region, with over 25% of the world’s biodiversity. One way to address this is to conceive of the superline simultaneously as a protected landscape – even a monitored and managed ecosystem that safely integrates infrastructure and habitat. Each power plant and energy source will be evaluated economically and environmentally. The sites with low or bad rating will no be connected to the super line. If the superline is efficient, the low-rated powerplants will only serve for local power generations and will be phased out in the near future.
I was told that the US Border Patrol headquarters in Washington DC used my horse patrol picture for the cover of the USBP 85th anniversary brochure. They sent me the finished version today (above).
