Just turned 18 today, quite excited. I decided to start uploading images without a border now.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian flickr friends out there! Hope you have a wonderful day!
This picture looks harder than it is because the word was soo long. I had to do it a couple times. By the 6th time, I was able to write the words faster and nicer.

Given the snow was up to their tummies off the path forward motion was only achieved through a full body workout!

As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

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.
Paddy, not particularly fond of water, doing his best here to please his Dad having vaulted over onto the rock without falling in then did a 'sitting'!
I was actually searching for green hairstreaks when I found two of these beauties. Wonderful day :^)
When faced with a bridge like this, and when there was no traffic around, I could not resist the temptation to jump out of the car and grab a photo from the rear of the mighty E-type Jag about to head under it.
Although this looks like a section of a racetrack, (or even a video game) it is actually taken on the Sturt Highway near the state border between South Australia and Victoria. It is mainly a fruit fly checkpoint for people entering the Riverland area from Victoria. It is in Yamba, near Renmark / Paringa in South Australia. The bridge / arch was originally donated by Dunlop back when the Formula One Grand Prix race first started in Adelaide from 1985 to 1995. They continued to sponsor the upkeep of the bridge until 2000. I have read that there is some argument whether or not to keep it due to nobody wanting to pay the estimated $75,000 repair and upgrade costs.

The yellow border of this field stood out like the proverbial sore thumb, I presume it must be Oil seed Canola, the light was nice with clouds racing across the landscape, it is strange today, it`s not raining .
I never intended going up here, I'd left my wife sat in the car while I popped out to get some photo's of the Roman Fort.. the light was poor, so I thought I'd try for a higher a view, next thing I knew, I was up at the top.. This is where I have to confess that I thought I was on Hard Knott's summit. Only when I got home and was looking on a map to see where the path was up to the summit, that I realised it was Border End summit, Hard Knott's summit was only a short distance away.
If the weather hadn't have been so poor, I probably would have had a roam about. As it was, I could see rain getting nearer and my wife was sat below waiting for me.. :-)

Paddy, having a moment realising that he's just about to land on Auntie Elk .. which would be a bad thing!
Kidu (black dog in Breton) is a 4-year-old Border Collie, abandoned, that I just adopted from an animal shelter. He is so happy, obedient, affectionate, intelligent and playful.
Here he is playing with his favorite toy nicknamed "moustache"

I don't normally use quotes, but I was struggling to think of a suitable description for this photo and I suddenly remembered this quote, which is one I've always liked (and is also very true!) and it seemed to go with the photo somehow, so I thought I'd put it up :)
I took this outside the very old and beautiful Malvern Priory, Barney is lying outside the side doors, which were just wonderful, I had to try and take a photo of him next to them :) It was a very quick photo shoot, as I doubt dogs are really supposed to be off lead in the churchyard. Barney is well behaved but I understand not everyone appreciates large fluffy canines, especially where people come to sit and have a quiet moment... So I hurriedly took a couple of shots and we continued our walk home. Anyway, I rather liked this one :)
