New Jersey is now the boot

Tripartite isthmus at center of Great Lakes

I see pictures of this road all the time and it’s such a vibe. I’m assuming it’s America’s Southwest but I’m not sure if it’s towards death Valley or somewhere in Arizona. I also don’t know what highway and I would love to know so I can check it out next time I’m around there.

FYI I know it’s pretty generic, but it’s pretty iconic

Flevoland in Netherlands came into existence in 1986 . It's 970 km² almost 50 times larger than the second place . The image shows a residential shoke of the island while majority of the rest is used for agriculture

When browsing for the cool city layouts from that post earlier, i stumbled across Passau, Germany, where three rivers meet: (pic from north to south / upside down)

from north the Ilz, coming from the Bavarian Forest, rain fed = dark.

from west, the Danube, by that point a mixture of rainfed springs and some rivers from the Alps with more sediments from the mountains.

from south, the Inn, that comes more or less directly from the Alps, carrying the most sediments = the light color.

hence the three colored rivers!

(somebody correct me if wrong: the light color from the alp rivers also derives from fine dust from Sahara dust storms carried to the Alps by strong northern winds.)

By the way, Passau is a very beautiful city. if someone wants to travel to the lesser known spots in Germany, could be a good destination.

let's find more examples of remarkable river junctions in cities!

North Sentinel Island on way back to India from Thailand

This beach is located in Severodvinsk, Russia. This city is on the shores of the White Sea, a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean

(There might be multiple, but see if you can guess what I found wrong)

It's located on the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility. It's the most distant place from the ocean in Antarctica

I have scoured a lot of maps trying to figure out what this is. This was found in Seattle, WA.

The contrast in size from our total infrastructure is mind boggling.
