Because it's arbitrary, that's why


I like pointless projects. Doing things for the hell of it and having other people join in is one of the things the internet is good at. That's why I love t'interweb. And one of those venerable futilities is the Degree Confluence Project.

The whole point of it is to take photographs of every integer confluence of latitude and longitude on the planet. Yes, it really is that gloriously futile. To show my utter approval of the project, I'm illustrating the entry with the only confluence point I can say I've definitely been to - 45°N 123°W, literally on Interstate 5, near Salem, OR.

Woo for confluences!
