Daily Picture Challenge!

[Truvelo]

I assume it's area otherwise my entry would be the largest if it's by population.

[US 89]

February 15th: Post a picture from the smallest county in a state.

If we're talking area, here's one from Davis County, Utah. It's third-largest by population, but smallest in area.

Challenge: Post road photos from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and their dependencies).

Still hoping for more international content, so let's just try the direct approach. :-)

(Also, how are we on the current state name sub-Challenge?)

I've got a handful, despite not driving on my one trip to Copenhagen which included short train sides trip to Roskilde and Malmö.  I'll try to post ones I don't recall putting in other picture challenge threads.

Here are a few Icelandic road photos that I haven't used in the street name challenge. Unfortunately, these aren't great because they were taken on a moving bus that I for some reason chose to sit on the left side of.

Route 41 eastbound approaching route 424:



I believe this is the roundabout with route 424, though it's not shown on this sign:



Pointing the way further down route 41 toward Reykjavík:

This is Rv 15 westbound at the Jostedalsbreen Nat'l Park:

Fv 63 in the town of Valldal, where it changes roads:


One of the hairpins of Trolstigen.  Don't overshoot it...

Nope, Nebraska's next. Montana was used here: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=19450.msg2300991#msg2300991

I suppose it does...but it would be cool if anybody could find something different for Nevada!

IMO Montana hasn't been played yet. Ã' is a different sound from N.

IMO Montana hasn't been played yet. Ã' is a different sound from N.

Is Ã' also considered a different letter in the Spanish alphabet than N? I recall hearing that in high school Spanish class, FWIW.

[AsphaltPlanet]

New Hampshire -> New Jersey

Yes. They're separate letters.

Yup, it's a different letter too (as pointed out by 1), and as such I retain it when writting Spanish names in English. "Montaña" is different from "Montana". I also retain the diaeresis over the U when it occurs even if it's not a letter of its own as it means that U is to be pronounced (and only happens in "güe" and "güi" syllabes anyway, as opposed to "gue" and "gui" where it's silent). OTOH, I drop out all acutes as they only indicate the stressed syllabe, they do not affect collation (just as if they didn't exist, that explains why baffles me when I find a word starting with a vowel with acute at the end instead of its expected position), and per experience words in English are to be stressed at speaker's discretion.

It's a different letter in Spanish, though not in English. I debated with myself whether Montaña should count, but I guess I let it slide. (FWIW, if different sounds make an entry invalid, then "Arkansas" wouldn't be acceptable for "Kansas".)

Not a road photo.

Montana was named for the Spanish word montaña ... English does not have the ñ so it was always written n... So it could be argued the ñ is implied in the state name

Is this satisfactory?

[empirestate]

I think we're more than good with Monta[ñ]a. Who's got a New Hampshire?

[AsphaltPlanet]

I think we're more than good with Monta[ñ]a. Who's got a New Hampshire?

I played New Hampshire above, we're on to New Jersey now.

Even better!

Also acceptable would be a Challenge for February 17th, 18th or 19th.
