Kieran Turner's photos with the keyword: crossing

I don't as a rule post photos by other people here — it's just not how flickr works, I feel. But since I "set up" this shot, I think I'll let it slip through and chalk it up as one for the "production team"! This little Nissan Micra (the 6th most reliable car of 2007, I'm told, though I had to point out that's the next generation...) is going to get us to Mongolia. Yeah, it is. Sump guard and petrol tank guard currently being welded on! Taken in the Brecon Beacons National Park where we tested out our navigation and camping skills with three other Mongol Rally teams :)

The title is what a very senior person (ahem, naming no names) said to the local Vice Consul. Border of Greece and the Republic of Macedonia, July 1999, en route to Kosova. But that's not so much the point of this upload, I just like my "Michael York" look in the photo! ;) Taken with a fairly old Nikon (don't remember which) with a 50mm on Kodak Plus-X, by Suzi. For technorati, the telephone is my old Ericsson T28, which – like the T39 I was to have a bit later – was an excellent phone I wouldn't object to having back again. Infinitely more reliable, and nicer to handle, than any phone I've had recently.

Morocco and Algeria opened this border for us. Due to a conflict elsewhere, it had been closed for 15 years.

The border between Morocco and Algeria was opened especially for us. It has been closed for the best part of 20 years because of a dispute between the countries over Western Sahara. It was opened only twice: both times for essentially this group of volunteers en route to Gaza with humanitarian aid. (The first time was under the guise of Viva Palestina, and the second time, as Road to Hope.) Naturally, there's a bit of a wait — this is unusual paperwork!
