well yes i am asking that & perhaps more
since i am actually hoping not just for 1 such stream confluence
at a degree confluence
but for an ensemble or gathering or collection of such
confluences squared
& thus a confluence to the third power or degree as well
& a fully multidimensional actualization to complement the newly
conceived clave map stamp collection
that aspires to be a cute little bunch of cute little things on cute
little things

thanx for this rare & fascinating example
http://topozone.com/map.asp?lat=44.04111&lon=-110.16667
not really of a confluence at a confluence
but of what might be called a diffluence near a confluence
& i dont think i have heard of more than a very few such partings
of the waters in the entire world
so they might be well worth collecting in their own right
& tho not what i was looking for
certainly are mighty fine & special
& just to change the topic again
which seems to be the order of the day anyway
while maintaining the focus on multiple & mighty fine & special
i have been seeking & collecting electromagnetic vortices lately
& have rounded up the famous & obvious 4 or 7 sedona anodes
which however on closer examination now appear to be both
anodal & cathodal
oops

plus the great oregonian wonder
albeit of unknown polarity
http://www.oregonvortex.com
& the only other possibly credible examples i have even heard of
were said to be on 3 of the hawaiian islands
but can anyone add to this collection
preferably with an example outside the usa
or explain why all the known ones are in the usa
