US and Canadian flags marking the border between the two nations, as seen from the White Pass & Yukon Route railway. Taken during our Best of Skagway excursion, which was part of our Alaskan cruise on the Disney Wonder, Sept 2011
The railway border between Austria and Italy at the Brenner Pass. Among the majestic Alpine hills and beyond the grass and weeds growing between the tracks and the shed that has been there for ever, a spot for the important things in life: your shopping.
The Outlet Center is nothing to do with letting you out, it's just over the border on the Italian side (as those who know about these things can tell from the weeds) and so presumably a lower-cost option for Austrians to buy, buy, buy.
Milltown, near St Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada.
This town is one of the border crossings between the USA (Calais, Maine) and St Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada. There is a smaller border crossing just a bit further along at Milltown. I have used both crossings when driving with my cousins.
We are going to try and avoid getting political. In fact, we can't, because truth be known, we don't really hold an opinion as to what is “right”. The northern third of Cyprus call themselves an independent country, “The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus”. The rest of Cyprus stands by the statement that the area is part of the “Republic of Cyprus” and calls the northern part the area currently held by Turkish forces. If we inadvertently anywhere make some sort of statement that implies we support the legitimacy of one over the other, then we apologise now. This photo is taken near a town called Deryneia, where the tensions are still perhaps a little higher than elsewhere.
Mexico City metro, from Pino Suárez to Isabel La Católica. I need some snob and long (long) text to justify this as "Contemporary Art". Recorded in the worst conditions with my old and loyal Lumia 625, edited in Corel VideoStudio X9. From same series: flic.kr/p/dZ8U3v
Dale Johnson (right) is congratulated by team-mates at Borderville after scoring, in the 66th minute, Ashton United's second goal against Northern Premier League rivals Stamford. The Robins won a Premier Division fixture 2-0 to consolidate their position in the play-off places. Stamford, with just four league victories to their credit since October, are now staring relegation in the face.

ITV Border's Sandy McCracken arrived at the cottage with cameraman Paul yesterday to film a short piece for the ITV programme "Border Life". The sun shone brightly and the Cruck Cottage looked fantastic following the recent repairs carried out to the thatched roof and having been freshly lime washed by our army of community volunteers.
Once again local residents came along to help us make this another "special" occasion, becoming the audience for the day. Interviews were given by Michael, Willie and Bill Lawson providing an insight into the Cruck Cottages past, present and future - they were excellent.
Our thanks to all those who once again gave their time to help us - it is, as always, greatly appreciated!
Elk's eyes are usually quite dark but on this occasion seem to have caught the light! Also the nearest she gets to smiling!
If you would like to use this image without paying anything, e-mail me and ask. I'm generally willing to share.
This photo is konomarked ("Most Rights Sharable").
KONOMARK - Most Rights Sharable. Just ask me.
This is the most potentially dangerous photo I took. The military/police as such border posts are very photo-averse and I had no idea this was, in fact, a border post until I was frantically told to lower my camera NOW. Whew...
The Department of Homeland Security, intercepting hundreds (if not thousands!) of Cotalpa nightly...
Combined the techniques of stencil printing,screen printing, hand embroidery, hand stitching and bead embroidery.
I don't know what's up, but the last two times I've gone down by bus, I've been considerably late. This time, we were stuck behind four buses at the border... for two hours.
Bahhhr.
If you're considering a flight from Buffalo to save $, but need to take a bus there, I highly recommend getting a ticket for an arrival time of at least 3 hours beforehand.

Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. Located on the island of Great Britain, it is bordered by the Irish Sea to the north and west, England to the east, the Bristol Channel to the south, and the Celtic Sea to the south-west. As of 2021, it had a population of 3.2 million. It has a total area of 21,218 square kilometres (8,192 sq mi) and over 2,700 kilometres (1,680 mi) of coastline. It is largely mountainous with its higher peaks in the north and central areas, including Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), its highest summit. The country lies within the north temperate zone and has a changeable, maritime climate. Its capital and largest city is Cardiff.
A distinct Welsh culture emerged among the Celtic Britons after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century, and Wales was briefly united under Gruffudd ap Llywelyn in 1055. After over 200 years of war, the conquest of Wales was completed by King Edward I of England in 1283, though Owain Glyndŵr led the Welsh Revolt against English rule in the early 15th century, and briefly re-established an independent Welsh state with its own national parliament (Welsh: senedd). In the 16th century the whole of Wales was annexed by England and incorporated within the English legal system under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. Distinctive Welsh politics developed in the 19th century. Welsh Liberalism, exemplified in the late 19th and early 20th century by David Lloyd George, was displaced by the growth of socialism and the Labour Party. Welsh national feeling grew over the century: a nationalist party, Plaid Cymru, was formed in 1925, and Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, the Welsh language society, in 1962. A governing system of Welsh devolution is employed in Wales, of which the most major step was the formation of the Senedd (Welsh Parliament, formerly the National Assembly for Wales) in 1998, responsible for a range of devolved policy matters.
At the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, development of the mining and metallurgical industries transformed the country from an agricultural society into an industrial one; the South Wales Coalfield's exploitation caused a rapid expansion of Wales's population. Two-thirds of the population live in South Wales, including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and the nearby valleys. The eastern region of North Wales has about a sixth of the overall population, with Wrexham being the largest northern city. The remaining parts of Wales are sparsely populated. Since the decline of the country's traditional extractive and heavy industries, the public sector, light and service industries, and tourism play major roles in its economy. Agriculture in Wales is largely livestock-based, making Wales a net exporter of animal produce, contributing towards national agricultural self-sufficiency.
Both Welsh and English are official languages. A majority of the population of Wales speaks English. Welsh is the dominant language in parts of the north and west, with a total of 538,300 Welsh speakers across the entire country. Wales has four UNESCO world heritage sites, of which three are in the north.

Specially selected passengers have taken a trip on the Borders to Edinburgh railway a day ahead of the opening of the new Scottish Borders rail line to the general public.
The owners of a Golden Ticket traveled on three trains leaving Tweedbank, Galashiels and Stow, each carrying 160 passengers.
Others making the trip were nominated by the public or won competitions.
The 30 miles of new track between Tweedbank in the Borders and Edinburgh opens to the public on Sunday.
