Border Crossing

While staying in Seville, we took a day trip to the Rock of Gilbraltar 2.5 hours away. It was an amazing day! We started by walking across the world's only active airplane runway border. It was rather surreal waiting for the plane in this photo to take off. Fifteen seconds after the plane left the ground the light turned green and the arm on the divider went up. The cars started driving and the people starting walking and just a couple of minutes later we were in a different country!

Oh, that brings me back! Are there still lots of monkeys on the rock? I went there with my hubby way before we even thought of getting married! Over 30 years ago I guess. Fun shot of the crossing!

[Danette Thompson]

Fascinating!

[Henri Russell]

Very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a picture of the Rock of Gilbraltar.

[Helen Jane]

it is a very distinctive form. Borders are - I think - by their very nature quite surreal.
