International Peace Garden (on the border with Canada)

Revisiting the great "Turtle Mountains"... the rise in the road seen ahead.	Entering the Peace Garden... note that the U.S./Canda border runs down the middle of the boulevard.	The start of the gardens... with the tower in the distance.	Looking westward down the secure national border running through the woods (as seen on the American side).
The view from the Canada side seems awfully similar (though a bird might have had an opinion).	Strait down the border... just to be fair.	Some garden shots... lots more coming.	Visitor center

9-11 beems	P7240110.JPG	9-11 memorial with bell tower on the Canada side... which I thought looked ironically like a World Trade Tower	Explains the tower of the next photos
Peace Tower	P7240115.JPG	Through the Peace Tower toward the bell tower	A prayer chapel
P7240119.JPG	Peace Chapel intro	Inside the chapel	The walls of the peace chapel are covered in such quotations
Back toward the visitor center from the towers	On the road home... what kind of birds are these?	Pelicans...	Joan had to show me the Rugby train station
Wow... such an honorific title to have for such a humble location	Apparently, North Dakotans have a fairly wide personal zone when in social occasions.	Rugby's style of skyscrapers.
