Hi,
In the last message, I didn't mean to write that someone had sent in MY picture to the group. I meant to write a picture like my photo number 1. Sorry about the way that sounded. And the shots continue:
Photo 5) This photo puzzles me a little. The border is clear in this residential road where the pavement changes. However, US-Canada border law requires that no tall vegetation or human structures be built (over one meter high) within three meters of the border on both sides. The houses and other buildings mentioned previously were basically already built on the border (and some before the border was finalized) when this law was enacted. However this pine tree and garage seem much newer than 50 years to me!!
Photo 6) Also in Derby Line and Rock Island the border passes just to the left (south) of this old abandoned customs booth. This border crossing on a small bridge and dirt road has since been fenced off, so the little Canadian customs shed is no longer in service.
Photo 7) The border goes down the middle of this street in Beebe and Beebe Plain (Vermont/Quebec). Note differences in pavement in the middle of the street. The name of the street is CANUSA Boulevard. The stop sign on the left says Arret, since it's in Quebec. Neighbors in this community are not allowed to cross the street to visit or borrow something unless they walk to the end of the street and go through customs and immigration first. The US government keeps tabs on every crossing point in these communities with video cameras on poles. The care closest to me in this picture is just about to enter Canada.
Photo 8) The US-Canada border across Upper Waterton Lake in Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
Enjoy,
Dallen
