I’ve started a new thread for it, because it’s interesting enough to be a topic on its own, and it would hijack the political discussion in the original thread.
Here are some collections of pictures showing interesting pictures of borders.
Some of them are beautiful natural boundaries. Some of them illustrate the environmental effects of different politics in two countries. Others have interesting markers or structures at the border.
There is some overlap between the sites, with some pictures appearing multiple times. But they all have some unique pictures.
I admit being slightly disappointed that this list, while interesting, did not included a shot of the border between China and Mongolia on which would be sitting… a bored panda.
Here’s my picture of the border between the United States and Canada. (The picture is taken from Canada, so the border is in the middle of the river, at the bottom of the picture).
The one I find most dramatic is the nighttime view of the two Koreas from space. There is no question which one is which – North Korea is simply a black hole.
The Taylor “Highway” leading to the Poker Creek border crossing between Alaska and Canada. I’ve driven that incredibly crappy road more times than I can remember.
The weird thing is that when Korea was divided there were concerns that South Korea wouldn’t be economically viable. Before the split, the southern half of Korea was mainly farmland and most of Korea’s advanced industry was in the north.
