The Degree Confluence Project

http://www.confluence.org/index.php

"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 about the visits, will then be posted here.

The project is an organized sampling of the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you're on the surface of Earth. We've discounted confluences in the oceans and some near the poles, but there are still 10,223 to be found.

You're invited to help by photographing any one of these places."

Here are some pictures of the confluence near Niihau and Lehua islands (near Kauai). We could see both of these islands on Tuesday from the Waimea Canyon overlooks. The shot at the summit of Lehua is really intriguing.

Here is the confluence closest to where we live. (Appears all the California ones are already charted.) Check the notes for the disgruntled homeowner nearby who tries to dissuade the endless stream of geocachers by telling them the confluence "doesn't exist anymore."
