exactly the border between france and italy fascinated me deeply. <br/>
I understood I was an authentic boundarypointer!<br/>
<br/>
indeed you were & are<br/>
as you do appear to have hit here upon a former chdefr tripoint<br/>
in the second of the five pix at<br/>

<br/>
but i need help in confirming or identifying its time & place<br/>
<br/>
did these tall & short rocks at rechesy rechezy richisy mark the <br/>
1871chdefr1919 tricountry point<br/>
& thus presumably our contemporary chfr2alfrju also<br/>
meaning <br/>
the binational tripoint formed by the french regions of alsace & <br/>
franche compte with the swiss canton of jura<br/>
<br/>
or isnt that what the taller of the 2 must mark anyway<br/>
does anyone suppose<br/>
<br/>
or have i missed my point</div>
