Image © 2011, Kent Smith - CORRECTION from Kent Smith:
"I thought I would clarify the image of the Merging Seas, in fact it is my image I posted on Flickr a few years ago and it has gone viral a few times [Wow! 755,000+ views as of 4/30/12 - Ed.]. I call it "Merging Oceans". It was taken on a cruise in Alaska in the Alaskan Gulf, not in the North Baltic sea. You can see my original image [bigger and better image] here. Also from that link you can see other images I took moments before and after the shot you see here just to prove to people it was my shot and it was in the Alaskan Gulf."

PREVIOUS CAPTION: In the resort town of Skagen you can watch an amazing natural phenomenon. This city is the northernmost point of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The two opposing tides in this place cannot merge because they have different densities. [This false information is a reminder to take what you see in chain emails with a grain of salt.]

NOTE: Buford Wyoming is an unincorporated community in Albany County, Wyoming, United States. It is located between Laramie and Cheyenne on Interstate 80. Buford is at 8000 feet (2500 m) of elevation, making it the highest community on Interstate 80. The community is noted for the Buford Trading Post.

It has a population of 1 person, and like Monowi, Nebraska (which by contrast is an incorporated town), it is the smallest locality in the United States of America by population. Don Sammons, who is the only resident, is also the operator of the Buford Trading Post. His son moved out around 2008. Sammons recently said that he was ready to retire.

Buford was established during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in Wyoming. At this time the town boasted a population of 2000 itinerant workers. As the railroad progressed, these workers moved west with the railroad; Buford has shrunk ever since. In 1880 a post office was built, and the community was renamed Buford in honor of Major General John Buford.
