<br/>
Doesn&#39;t it look like the international border between<br/>
#0 and #1 is indeed marked along the right bank of the<br/>
creek?<br/>
<br/>
And if the border between Castagnola and Arogno runs<br/>
in the middle of the creek (or along the thalweg),<br/>
which is not unlikely given the sketching on the map<br/>
mentioned above, this places the tripoint in the<br/>
water, roughly a meter or two south of #1.<br/>
<br/>
Then, if there is a marking on the south bank, this<br/>
should be aligned with the border from #1 to #2, to<br/>
aid in determining the tripoint.<br/>
<br/>
It looks like the border makes a turn exactly at #1,<br/>
but it is not entirely clear on Philips pictures that<br/>
this is evident on top of the marker.<br/>
<br/>
Are there other pictures from this area around that I<br/>
have missed? I&#39;d appreciate very much if someone could<br/>
republish links, in that case (yes, I know, I should<br/>
use the search engine...).<br/>
<br/>
Didn&#39;t our danish friends make an expedition to these<br/>
parts not too long ago? Did that result in web<br/>
publishings?<br/>
<br/>
Yours,<br/>
