Apparently it was National Puppy Day yesterday. Here's a working dog feeling completely fulfilled, our border collie Donnan watching over newborn baby goat Luna.
It's amazing to see how he frequently instinctively assumes a herding/watchdog role.
Luna was born shortly before a lunar eclipse, and was mostly white, so was named after the moon.

Im Bahnhof von Probstzella (Thüringen) an der Frankenwaldbahn fanden bis 1989 die strengen DDR-Grenzkontrollen statt. Betroffen waren vor allem jene Züge, die Fahrgäste von und nach Städten in der DDR beförderten. Bei den Interzonenzügen von München und Stuttgart nach Barlin fanden die Kontrollen im Zug statt.
Until 1989, strict GDR border controls were carried out at Probstzella station (Thuringia) on the Frankenwaldbahn railway line. This mainly affected trains carrying passengers to and from cities in the GDR. On interzone trains from Munich and Stuttgart to Berlin, the controls were carried out on the train itself.

The history of this station dates back to the 19th century, when the railway line connecting Goerlitz with Zawidów was opened between 1873 and 1875. Its station is very similar in scale to its older brother in Lubawka, and this is no coincidence, as both were border points during construction. A square and a small park stretched next to the building, and in addition to the main building, the station housed the necessary infrastructure and two locomotive sheds. Shortly after its construction, a large industrial plant producing bricks and roof tiles, as well as a residential estate, were built next to the station. The station's size likely stemmed from its various functions, including customs. Today, the Zawidów station serves as a residential building. Unfortunately, this is not surprising, as passenger trains have not run through Zawidów since 2000. The station is only a transit point, where freight trains run.
The photo shows SU46-029 with a touring train carrying cars during a brake test. The SU46 will lead the train to Węgliniec. The locomotive was withdrawn in December of same year, ending the planned service life of the SU46 series.

Historia tej stacji sięga jeszcze XIX-wieku, kiedy to w latach 1873-1875 oddano do użytku linię kolejową łączącą Goerlitz z Zawidowem. Dworzec tejże stacji ma bardzo podobny rozmach do starszego brata z Lubawki i nie jest to przypadek, gdyż oba w trakcie budowy były miejscami granicznymi. Obok gmachu rozciągał się plac i niewielki park, a oprócz głównego budynku na stacji znajdowała się potrzebna infrastruktura oraz dwie lokomotywownie. Niedługo po zbudowaniu, obok dworca powstał duży zakład przemysłowy produkujący cegłę i dachówkę oraz osiedle willowe. Wielkość dworca wynikała prawdopodobnie z jego różnych funkcji m.in. celnej. Dziś dworzec z Zawidowie pełni rolę budynku mieszkalnego. Niestety nie ma co się dziwić, gdyż przez Zawidów od 2000 roku nie jeżdżą pociągi pasażerskie. Stacja jest jedynie miejscem tranzytowym, gdzie kursują pociągi towarowe.
Na fotografii widzimy SU46-029 z objazdowym pociągiem z samochodami podczas próby hamulca. SUka zaprowadzi skład do Węglińca. Lokomotywa została odstawiona w grudniu tego samego roku kończąc tym samym planową eksploatację serii SU46.

Caught on a thistle flower. I don't think I've seen these before, but they're all over the place in the Fredericksburg TX area now...very pretty...
Having walked out to this location on the ECML at Marshall Meadows, i wanted to do something with the sign. the area is very cluttered, and the sign on the coast side is missing one half, so this was the only angle I could use. I took a photo of the sign and then layered over the Azuma and flipped the other.
I am very grateful to all friends and visitors who see and like my photos.
Special thanks go to those who invite this shot into their groups. ^_^
This is the Zhangmu border crossing with the bridge spanning the Sun Kosi river. The right side is Tibet & the left side is Nepal.To the right is the start of the "Friendship Highway " leading to Lhasa, capital of Tibet. The left road leads to Kathmandu & was the direction we were travelling. To get here we had to drive along a long section of road, in a narrow gorge, that was still being built . We had to wait a few hours for our allotted time to travel,(as the road was only wide enough for one direction of travel at a time) but even so we were held up again for several hours while the Chinese " coolies" were blasting away much rock using dynamite. It was quite exciting as we drove past the huge rock piles in the road , still being cleared & with a vertiginous drop down to the river, a long way below. It was quite some relief when we eventually reached the border town of Zhangmu, driving in total darkness, but still in one piece !!!
Due to the Nepal earthquake in April 2015 this route was closed for over two years .Now clear, it is an adventure journey ,which I can recommend.
Not my best shot. I did not realize that my ISO was at 5000, not 500, like I intended. It still shows the colour and pattern, so here it is. I will try for a better shot if I get the chance again.

Santa Fe's longest branch line, the San Angelo Subdivision, ran 386 miles across desolate West Texas from San Angelo Junction (west of Brownwood on the Texas main line) to Presidio, Texas, on the Mexican border.
In October 1968, it took me three days of engine and caboose riding to make the trip from Brownwood to Presidio. The first day got me from Brownwood to San Angelo, 71 miles, mostly at night; the second day had me riding a trailing F-unit from San Angelo to Fort Stockton, 167 miles, on train 129; and the third day was a caboose ride from Fort Stockton to Presidio, 145 miles. Yes, it was a long trip. The last segment, from Fort Stockton to Presidio, was mainly at night.
We arrived at the border station just after sun up. The crew went on their rest. I wandered around the area all-day, going to Ojinaga on the Mexican side to photograph the Chihuahua Pacific Railroad (Ch-P), one of my all-time favorite railroads.
Late in the afternoon, the crew went on duty and did some switching and shoved a long cut of cars down to the International bridge to transfer to the Ch-P. In this scene at sunset, October 18, 1968, the units (a GP7 and two GP7Bs) and caboose pause in front of the station while the crew gets their orders to head back to Fort Stockton. It will be another all-night caboose trip, but I will get off at Alpine, Texas, in the wee hours and get a motel room. The following day, I will catch SP's SUNSET LIMITED to El Paso, another Santa Fe freight to Belen, New Mexico, and more freights back to my home in Topeka, Kansas.
The San Angelo Subdivision was once the main line of the KCM&O, a segment in Arthur Stilwell's dream to build a railroad from Kansas City to the Gulf of California, a shorter distance to the Pacific than Kansas City to California ports. Santa Fe acquired the KCM&O in 1928, but it never developed as a through route as planned.
The Subdivision was sold in 1998, and there are still attempts to establish through service.
The depot, shown in this image, was destroyed by fire a few years later.

The Anglo - Scottish Border, on the A68, Carter Bar, Northumberland / Scottish Borders, UK. This must be the most scenic border crossing between the two countries, with far reaching views to the north and a steady climb from both sides up to the border at 418 metres above sea level. There is a second stone facing the opposite direction across the road with 'Scotland' written on it.
