it is the most hopeful try because it does at least
show a seaside area up close
but the border marker on the corniche set at right
angles to the coast indicates that the tall boxy
building atop the cliff behind the douaniers on the
beach is just barely inside italy
& thus strongly suggests this beach is several km deep
into france
for otherwise the border would have to angle very
sharply westward from the marker in its descent to the
coast
which i dont believe it actually does
but maybe you can flash your map to help me see what
you mean

understood
markers are rarely found on beaches
but that doesnt mean beach points are impossible to
find
i am reminded of this particularly tricky & gratifying
try at canfqcs
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/10251
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/10240
referring not just to a border base but to a true
amphibious tripoint which moreover only shows up dry
at the moment of low tide
& i would say fully warrants all the code it can get
ca2canfqcs
where the rock just behind me in the attached pic is
effectively the marker because it forms the outer
extremity of the bay of blanc sablon

i hear you loud & clear matey
for now you are talking about what you definitely do
like
& who can take issue with that
even tho it may be beside our original point
indeed may you be an inspiration & a role model to all
in this regard
