It is not often that i happen accross something that is whacky enough to hold my attention for any great period of time. A notable exception however, is the
confluence project.
This imaginative project aims to collect photographs as a memoento from all the confluences of lines of latitude and longitude on land.
Unsurpisingly, there are quite a few of these and so there are quite a few oppurtunitys for those who would find treking to sometimes remote lands in quest of imaginary lines gratifying- this is true particularly for pakistan, with only 9 so far completed. This rare breed of the confluence hunter in Pakistan seem to be a bizzare mix of people visiting their inlaws, cross country travellers and american army helicopter pilots.
An entertaining account of a back-and-beyond spot in Baluchistan is provided by this aforementioned helicoptor pilot
