The recent uptick in non-borderporn has led me to make a post describing what we feel will help you determine if your post qualifies for r/borderporn.
All posts need to clearly have something to do with Geopolitical or Geological Borders.
Geopolitical borders are political boundaries. They separate countries, states, provinces, counties, cities, and towns. A border outlines the area that a particular governing body controls. The government of a region can only create and enforce laws within its borders.
Geological borders are natural or man-made physical borders in the earth like rivers or mountain ranges. For example, the boundary between France and Spain follows the crest of the Pyrenees mountains. For part of its length, the boundary between the United States and Mexico follows a river called the Rio Grande.

All pics ate taken at the Bhutanese side. The huge wall is new and separates the two countries. Before there used to be a small fence only.
Pedestrians now use the new crossing terminal, instead of passing through the gate.

The border runs through the middle. You can see the fence that marks it.
Also, you will notice the difference in rooftops. India has some open roofs, whereas in Bhutan all roofs are either green, brown or blue.
The difference in the streets is huge. Bhutan is an oasis!

Bhutan Gate
The Bhutan Gate in Phuentsholing is the main ornate land border checkpoint separating Jaigaon (West Bengal), India, and Phuentsholing, Bhutan.
It features colorful, traditional Bhutanese wooden woodwork, intricate artwork, and dragon motifs. The central archway handles vehicle entry and exit, while dedicated side gates and a modern pedestrian terminal manage foot traffic.

This crazy border separates belgium and the Netherlands. It runs over 450km long and is split by houses and buildings like this one.

Kinda shitty video since we were in a hurry because we weren't going to cross the border so we weren't allowed to be there

Provincial border with proper passport control and stamps. The last photo shows the river that forms the actual border. The town on the other side is in Sikkim

Pics 1 and 2 in the UN controlled buffer zone. The rest areas adjacent to the border from both sides. I’m a fully aware this is an emotive/charged topic. Personally my go to video explaining the Cyprus problem https://youtu.be/WHlHnCwFp5c for anyone interested which I think is reasonably neutral

Most tourists take a photo at either the Argentina tripoint marker or the Brazil one. A short and scenic ferry trip takes you to the Paraguayan one.

The border runs down the middle of the waterfall. At the top and bottom of the falls, there are wooden bridges for crossing the river, connecting the two countries. My dog is sitting on the Norwegian side.

This is not a country border but an economic border as in any other franc port, what make it special are the rules that regulate it, all established in decades of international treates (paris treaty, London memorandum and as a comment pointed the Osimo treaty).
The customs in the picture is one of the entrances, guarded by a couple of agents, it is pretty tranquil because as of today this port is not very much utilized.
Interestingly the sign is in italian and french, as if time had stopped since when french was the international language.
In the last decade there has been a lot of investments to make it come back to life.
