Shoot of some Indonesian Customs in Sabang, Aceh-Indonesia. What a hard work they've been doing to keep Indonesia's border secured.
Malaysia (left side) and Thailand separated by Sungai Golok, Rantau Panjang.
Rantau Panjang is a bustling border town about 40 km from Kota Bharu, Kelantan. It is separated from Thailand by Sungai Golok (Golok River).
This rustic town has a duty-free zone popular for its Thai foodstuff, clothing and housewares. Not a sleepy town, the atmosphere here is generally intense.

this was some freebie thing from an ebay seller from whom I got a really spectacular number of fantastic unmounted images ages ago (unmarked obviously, but suspected leavenworth jackson, ken brown, and some of my super damn favorite ones ever).
I'd always just been meh about these but I'm gonna finally mount them and try 'em out, but I wanted to preserve the details of the sheet just, you know, in case it ever came in handy.
This sheep is part of a small flock at Moulton in Norfolk.
The Border Leicester is a polled, long-wool sheep and is considered a dual-purpose breed as it is reared both for meat and for wool. The sheep are large but docile.
The Border Leicester was developed in 1767 in Northumberland, England. Their name derives from the fact that their birthplace is near the Scottish border with their foundation stock being Dishley Leicester rams.
The Dishley Leicester was created and bred by Robert Bakewell (1726-1795) by crossing the old Lincolnshire breed with the Leicestershire type sheep. The Dishley Leicester became very popular with local farmers. George and Mathew Culley bought some of Robert Bakewell's Dishley Leicesters and the breed was soon found on both sides of the border. Around the 1830's two distinct types of Dishley Leicesters were developing on the two sides of the border. The Culley brothers were crossing their sheep with Teeswater sheep while other farmers in different areas along the border were crossing with Cheviots. This variation in the breed resulted in the two being nicknamed 'bluecaps' and 'redlegs'. Many farmers preferred the hardier redlegs and around 1850 this variation of the Dishley Leicester became known as the Border Leicester. They were a fairly common breed in the UK by the 19th. century.
Registered flocks are now found in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Border Leicester sheep have been exported to Australia in 1871, British Guiana, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Hungary, India, Iran, Japan, New Zealand in 1859, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United States, where the first breed association was formed in 1888, and Yugoslavia.
Border Leicester's are all white with a distinct long body, well-developed chest, well-sprung ribs and a wide, strong back. The nose should be black and the ears should be large, upright and alert. Feet should also be dark in colour. The head and legs should be free of wool and only covered in short white hair making it easier for shearing. Sheep of this breed should also have a distinct 'Roman' nose
The weight of a mature Border Leicester ram is in the range of 309 to 386 lb. (140 to 175 kg) and a mature ewe 200 to 260 lb. (90 to 120 kg). A yearling ewe is around 141 lb. (64 kg).
Their white wool tends to be very long and is prized by spinners because of its crimp and lustre. Sheep are normally shorn twice a year when the wool has reached a length of around 3.9 in. (100 mm). Lambs yield an average of 4 lb. (1.8 kg) of wool, yearlings may yield 7.1 lb. (3.2 kg) at each shearing.
The Border Leicester is an excellent breed for farmers. They produce good milk and are good mothers with a lambing percentage of about 150%. Lambs finish quickly due to their high growth rate and produce high quality, desirable meat. The breed is also hardy and easy to keep and manage.

My first Metra-Pace trip to Gurnee; many hours including a canceled (!) 2pm return train, which was never announced to the 100+ passengers waiting at Waukegan (station's closed then). Also, if you do a 4 1/2 hour (actually 7 with having to take the 4pm train) round trip, make sure you haven't forgotten your bank card, or you'll have to put back a few good books. Oops!
Bought a bunch of tulips to take some photos....took lots of pics, tried a lot of different borders in photoshop, here is one I liked....

I lied. More scanned in photos for your viewing pleasure. This is the northern border of Papua New Guinea with Indonesia (Irian Jaya / West Papua province). I'm in PNG looking west, the border is on the top of the hill.

The dogs absolutely love the rope swing in the woods overlooking the sea. The one collie actually swings with his paws off the ground.

The other side of the wall that divides one of the richest cities in the USA
and one of the most troubled cities in Mexico. The story of people that were
deported from the USA after living there for half of their lives and leave their
wives and children behind, choosing to live a marginal life in Tijuana in
hoping to make it back one day. No documents, no communication with their families in the USA.
The destruction or dislocation of this monument, is a crime punishable by both the United States or Mexico.
Border Sampler. Did these ten years ago.
These are really samples of borders. Instead of using the borders for parts of other cross stitch, I stitched the whole page! There are three pages of this book I did.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.

Here's a poorly-focused shot of an unexpected sight along Interstate 10 in southern Mississippi. For some reason, even though we were at this point about 750 miles from the nearest point on the border between the United States and Mexico, the Border Patrol was out in force, running up and down the highway like it was Interstate 8 in California. This was one of three Border Patrol guys I saw on this stretch of highway. They can operate here because though the land border is 750 miles away, the shore of the Gulf of Mexico is only four miles to my right, and the Border Patrol has legal jurisdiction anyplace within a hundred miles of the edge of US land. That never used to be a thing someplace like this, though, because you don't have a lot of boat people coming ashore in Biloxi. It's just another sign of the increased xenophobia on the part of my fellow Americans.
I don't know how a Border Patrol guy sitting in the median of Interstate 10 in Mississippi decides he's going to pull somebody over. He can't pull people over for speeding, I don't think. I mean, it's not like he can write tickets. So I guess he's just looking for cars driven by brown people. Because that's the type of country we are these days. You'd think, considering Trump's ... (ahem) ... "emergency" down on the Texas border that the Border Patrol wouldn't have the resources to spend patrolling really busy interstate highways in southern Mississippi. This guy should be in Texas, ready to fight the supposed invasion.
And that's that for Mississippi.
