Degree of Confluence Project
http://www.confluence.org/index.php
I am not sure that a mere mortal such as I can explain this site. So, instead, here is what the site says about itself: The goal of the project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location. The pictures and stories will then be posted here. The project is an organized sampling of the world. We've excluded confluences in the oceans and dropped some near the poles, but there are still 12,810 to be found It is a fun site to explore. It may be particularly useful on those days when you do not care to look into the inner secrets of an ArcObject, or a GeoMedia command. If your boss asks what you are doing, simply state that you are doing research on confluences.
