RE: Photo Series #60: La Plata River, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay | ColorChallenge - Orange Tuesday
Whoa what a awesome sunset!!
I'm glad you re-posted this!!
I had to look up the latitudes, I grew up
in northern California ;-)
Sacramento California latitude
38.5816° N
Mouth of the river San Francisco
37.7749° N
Colonia del Sacramento Uruguay latitude
34.4607° S
Found that kind of interesting the names of
places and locations on the map, not to far
off in numbers away from the equator.
Handy for them ancient mariners eh!
Wow isn't that a gigantic coincidence? Same line, diferente poles!
Is Sacramento in California named by the Spanish? Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay is really interesting as it was the scene of many disputes between portuguese and spanish.
