Thanks Peter for the link with the
most fascinating picture - it's obvious
that one of the horses is Belgian,
the other Dutch !!!
Any other border pix on your site?
URL?
Best regards

In that case... Just a little appetizer:
http://www.euronet.nl/users/in005814/webfoto-groot/overslag-gr.jpg

This is from my own little web site. It is in Overslag. You can see
border markers nos. 298 and 299. Left is NL, right is BE.

I wanted to make this picture, but all of a sudden this 2 h.p. vehicle
turned around the corner.

I didn't make any pictures of the Austrian border stone I saw. As I
recall, it was a bit difficult to make a decent picture of it, as I
would have to be standing in someones back garden to do it....
