The Peace Gardens straddle the border between the U.S. and Canada: the longest undefended border in the world.
There are numerous fountains and well tended flower gardens...
...though a few weeds still manage to poke through here and there. I loved the way this spider stretched out its legs in front and behind as if to mimic the appearance of his perch.
The soaring cement forms of the peace towers cap the westernmost edge of the gardens. From a distance (as in the garden picture above), they remind me of the "two towers" of the old world trade center, while up close they are majestic and striking...
During sunset, they can be unforgettable...
Because the sun rises so early here I've missed my usual sunrise walks, but we were fortunate last night to be treated to one of North Dakota's spectacular sunsets...
