This is the border of Croatia and Bosnia just behind Dubrovnik at Brgat. Look carefully to the left of the flag. That is an old border marker stone. The police refused to let me take a proper photo of it. Is it pre-1918? Did the Austro-Hungarian provinces of BH and Dalmatia have border markers or is it even older, pre-1878? Any answers?
If I administrated a border of a country that changes its name every 4-5 years, I wouldn' bother updating the sign either.

A short diesel hauled goods train stands in Saughtree station. Note the track layout which is faithful to the original with a short siding and headshunt. The Border Counties Railway closed between Bellingham and Riccarton Junction to passengers in 1956 and to goods in 1958 but a short section has been relaid in the Saughtree area where the station was bought by a railway enthusiast. Saughtree is the first station in Scotland. Two and a half miles behind this train is the next station, Deadwater, which stands on the English side of the Border.
Famous ghost town on border between North 7 South Cyprus. Th town lies in a demilitarised zone & was abonded during the Turkish invasion in 1974.
Every day for the past 6 years, Slim came to this location and the gate was locked. Slim was beginning to think he would never see what was on the other side of the gate. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. It was pretty disheartening for Slim the Snake, especially, when he returned to the den every day and all the other snakes snickered at him. It didn't do much for his self esteem.

The hexies are all sewn together! The floral is for the backing.
I'm deciding between the greens, teal and browns for the border.
I think the binding will be the berry color.
What do you think?
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!
