This is an image taken on the Taken on the N1/A1 dual carriageway between Dundalk and Newry, right on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
I intended to focus on the change in the style of hard shoulder between North and South - dashed yellow line in the Republic, continuous white line in the North.
No customs post - I hope it stays this way and Northern Ireland's Remain Vote is respected!

Borders San Francisco
As of January 30, 2010, the company operated 511 Borders superstores in the world, including 508 in the U.S. and three in Puerto Rico.
On February 16, 2011, Borders applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and began liquidating 226 of its stores in the United States. Despite an offer from the private-equity firm Najafi Companies, Borders was not able to find a buyer before its July 17 bidding deadline, and therefore began liquidating its remaining 399 retail outlets on July 22, with the last remaining stores closing their doors on Sunday, September 18, 2011.[5] The Chapter 11 case is ultimately being converted to Chapter 7
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!

Borders always look their best end-on. You can't see the gaps.
This year's lack of water coupled with the very poor soil here has kept many plants smaller than usual and a lot of bare soil in between.
It looks good like this though doesn't it.
Couldn't easily be more different to my borders at home that really are over-full from any angle. I assume it's the richer soil.

Lake Titicaca, on the border between Peru and Bolivia in the Andes Mountains, is one of South America's largest lakes and the world’s highest navigable body of water (12,507 ft). Said to be the birthplace of the Incas, it’s home to numerous ruins. Its waters are famously still and brightly reflective.
The "Floating Islands" are small islands constructed by the Uros (or Uru) people from layers of cut totora, a thick buoyant reed that grows abundantly in the shallows of Lake Titicaca. The Uros harvest the reeds that naturally grow on the lake's banks to make the islands by continuously adding reeds to the surface.
According to legend, the Uru people originated in the Amazon and migrated to Lake Titicaca in the pre-Columbian era, where they were oppressed and unable to secure land of their own. They built the reed islands, which could be moved into deep water or to different parts of the lake as necessary, for greater safety from their hostile neighbors on land.
Each island contains several thatched houses, typically belonging to members of a single extended family. Some have watchtowers and other buildings, also constructed of reeds. As of 2011, about 1,200 Uros lived on 60 artificial islands,clustering in the western corner of the lake near Puno, Titicaca's major Peruvian port town.
