[29 November 2015] The border between Argentina and Chile at Lago Roca, Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego (Ushuaia, Argentina). Last hike on the day of the disembarkation after the expedition on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Terlingua is a small town outside the western edge of Big Bend National Park in Far West Texas, not far from the border with Mexico. I spent a couple of hours in Terlingua at the auto shop getting my tire patched from the u-shaped hook I had picked up in Big Bend. I knew this since the guy at the tire shop showed it to me. I had already spent a couple of days limping through the vast park.
Far West Texas is vast and remote. This is somewhere near Terlingua on the road north, beginning the long portion of my trip back home, or at least in that direction. I still had a few more days to go before driving home. All is well with a repaired tire and a cooler of drinks and food to carry me through.

A trio of BNSF ES44's hustle an eastbound stack train over the impressive Colorado River Bridge at the border of California and Arizona. The lead units have made their way across the border into Arizona, whilst the majority of the train is still in California.
Can you see where the Irish Border runs through this photo? Looking north towards Slieve Gullion (573 metres a.s.l.), the crowning glory of South Armagh, from Dungooly, Co. Louth.
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.
This oak was the play ground for many kids live nearby this forest on the border between the Netherlands and Germany. The shape is a bit like a horse and they play knight adventures including my uncle when he was a kid. He is now in his seventies and still you can see a bit the shape what it had then.

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

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 .
Thanks a lot for your time, your likes and your comments.

170411 heads down the Scottish Borders line south of Gorebridge with the 1111 Edinburgh to Tweedbank service.
Of course, the star of the image is not the train but twin towered baronial keep of Borthwick Castle.
The castle was twice visited by Mary Queen of Scots. Her second visit was during the tumultuous last weeks of her reign. The castle was besieged and she escaped dressed as a male page.
The gaping hole in the outer wall which is clearly visible here was made by cannon fire from Oliver Cromwell's forces, who successfully attacked in 1650, leading to an 'honourable' surrender by Lord Borthwick.
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.. :-)
