Marking the border between the London boroughs of Bromley and Croydon (and effectively where Spring Park becomes Threehalfpenny Wood). On the side it denotes that this is the London Outer Orbital Path with a year of 1996.
Shortly after the border checkpoint, the traffic switches sides of the road. In Laos, you drive on the right, in Thailand you drive on the left.
This tranquil Mediterranean scene is Kanal in Slovenia, just a few miles from the border with Italy. During World War I, it was a battleground as Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces fought for control of the Soca River. Now it is just a peaceful town with some of the bluest water I have ever seen.

The actual border between Chine and Kyrgyzstan, seen from the Kyrgyzstan side. Independent travelers need to have a car waiting on the other side as no tourism vehicle can cross the border. Traveler go through the small metal door and there is no official around.

I have literally thousands of photos from this trip. If any one wants more of a particular vehicle, let me know.
This is day 2, trip along the Border Track - Dog Fence.
This must be one of the best sand tracks to be found in Victoria/South Australia. It follows the border from near Pinnaroo right down to near the Melbourne - Adelaide hwy.
This track has very large sand hills to get over. Most of these hills have tracks to get around them if you are not able to get over them. Some of these hills are so extreme there's no way anyone will get over them, so this track can very easily be classed as a 'Difficult' track.
Very Important. Check with the SA National Parks and Reserves for information on when the track is closed, and what direction you need to go in.
The track is about 107km. Allow a full day to make this trip. For a more enjoyable weekend, take your time and camp anywhere along the track. Stop in or camp at Red Bluff - scenic red sandstone hill.
(This is where we stopped). Dress warm though as it gets hot in the day, freezing at night.
Make sure you pack all your recovery gear, and travel in a group with other 4wd's. (We had to recover 2 vehicles).
Check the depths of the mud holes. Some for us were over 1 meter deep. Watch out for the holes towards the end, they are really deep!
Momentum is your friend on the sand dunes. We used 15psi tyre pressures. (Try the sand dunes 3x, if you fail, take the chicken path)
We ended up getting lost around the supposed turnoff to red bluff, that according to the maps was "well signposted".
We ended up with broken eggs and bottles.
This is mostly a sandy track with dunes and provides you with a remote location for testing self and equipment without travelling deeper into the outback.
The environment is typical Victorian desert – Mallee country. Expect some scratching from Mallee scrub particularly in the Wyperfeld section and some parts of the Northern Border Track may be overgrown. Soft sand is to be found on the tracks as well as corrugations and hard gravel.
The border track is steeped in history largely due to the dispute which arose from the original survey completed between 1847 and 1850. The result is that the border is actually sighted some 3kms too far West. A fascinating account of this can be obtained from John Deckert at Westprint Heritage Maps if you manage to visit whilst in Nhill.
There is an abundance of wildlife to enjoy whilst undertaking this trip, so watch out for Emu and Kangaroo. Aboriginal rock holes can be found close to the junction with South Bore Track.
We were lucky to reach the top speed of 40 kms/hr.

CEA Assist in Cross Border Transportation
CEA were recently contracted by a Laos transport company to assist in the transportation of several transformers which are to be used for the Nam Ngiep 1 Hydropower Project in Laos.
The hydropower project when complete will produce 290 MW of which more than 90% will be exported to neighboring Thailand. Expected cost of the project is 900 Million USD.
The plant will consist of a main storage dam 148m in height with a 67 km2 reservoir.
The location will be based on the Nam Ngiep River in the central provinces of Bolikhamsai and Xaisomboun, situated 40 km upstream from a confluence of the Mekong River.
Construction Timeline: August 2014 to 2017/2018
CEA supplied prime movers and trailers including one of their multi-axle hydraulic Kamag25 trailers.
The trucks collected the cargo from Laem Chabang Port and made the 1260 km journey across the border deep into Laos to the construction site. CEA will provide support for the next 10 weeks.

Il Wahga Border è il confine Pakistan/India dove ogni sera durante l'ammaina bandiera che si tiene nella zona franca tra due cancelli, i due stati in continua lotta, si sfidano e danno spettacolo con quella che ormai è diventata una parata con tifosi, animatori e guardie scelte. I soldati chr portano barba o baffi hanno un aumento sul salario mensile per il mantenimanto della stessa. In questo set, ho cercato di creare un percorso, iniziando dalla strada per arrivare a Wahga, passando per gli animatori, i canti (Lunga vita al Pakistan PAKISTAN ZINDABA +o-), fino ad arrivare al momento in cui le bandiere si incrociano.
I had a very difficult time deciding how to quilt the border. It was the last part I quilted. I almost left it UNQUILTED because everything I tried on scrap samples totally masked the paisley print. I tried parallel straight lines inside the border. I tried cross-hatched lines (making diamonds in the blue border). I tried a meander. The paisley print is so faint that all these techniques made the paisley print disappear and it looked like plain blue fabric, which I didn't want to happen. So, I decided to do my FIRST EVER free motion quilting and stitched around the outside edge of each paisley. For this to work without puckering the back side, I used quilting spray adhesive to make both the blue border on the front and the edge on the back stick to the batting in between. It worked GREAT and washed out later.
