RE: [BoundaryPoint] and more pics

Hi Bob,

Good to hear from you. I know the feeling about being far away from family. It gets tiring.

I do have a picture of the 'world's shortest international bridge', however it's in a tourist brochure, not my own photo, so I don't know if I can scan and send it. I'm usually pretty good at copyright laws, since I publish quite a bit, but sending a pic from a postcard or brochure might be a bit different from normal print media. Anybody know about the rules for sending copyrighted material to a discussion group? I do have a wonderful postcard I'd like to send everyone of the US-Mexico border.

Actually, the bridge you're talking about in the Thousand Islands region of the St Lawrence Rive is technically not the smallest intl bridge--at least not in my opinion. At the International Peace Garden (see the photos I sent earlier), there is (if I remember correctly) a small stone bridge that's about two feet long going over the small ditch that marks the border. Maybe this is too technical, but it is in fact an 'international bridge' of some sort. The one in the Thousand Islands area is about five or six feet long I think.

Actually Bob, I think there's a link to a photo of that bridge on Jesper's borderpictures site under the area of US-Canada borders.

Cheers,

Dallen

dallen,

i also say keep them coming.

seeing your photos has made this
saturday-night-in-tokyo-with-my-family-back-in-new-hampshire more
bearable.

btw, any pictures of the border straddling hardware store in norton,
vt.- ?, quebec.....or the shortest international bridge in the world. i
remember seeing this in a travel catalog years ago and only once since
then. it "spans" two of the one thousand islands in the st. lawrence
seaway. a person with long legs and a running leap might not need the
bridge. i have surfed the web trying to find it, to no avail.

before my plane left seattle, i asked the pilot where we crossed the
international date line. i was hoping that it was over little diomede,
alaska/big diomede, russia. unfortunately it was not.

regards,

bob
