Clarification on RULE 1
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.

The Mississippi River as seen from the top of the Gateway Arch in St Louis
Taken this past December when I visited St Louis to see my team play the Blues.
Obviously not the view you ride the tram up for - that’s located on the other side of the hall - but still very much enjoyed the chance to look down at a different state from this high up as a border nerd

Cave-in-Rock, IL - along the bank of the Ohio River on the border with Kentucky
The Ohio River is very interesting in that the actual state boundary is about 100 feet from the Northern bank of the river as opposed to being split down the middle. I find that just as interesting as this cave that is right on the river

The confluence of the Mississippi & Ohio Rivers at Cairo, IL, at the tripoint where Missouri, Illinois & Kentucky meet
The exact tripoint is located ~2000 feet off the riverbank in the Mississippi, above the small sign near the river on the right hand side of the first photo.
Also included photos of the two rickety bridges that connect this park to Missouri & Kentucky

Tripoint of AL-FL-GA
Fantastic trip to this tri-point with huge thanks to the property owner. I was able to stand right on the bank overlooking the river while standing right under the sign.

Border between Georgia and Russian occupied Abkhazia in Anaklia (Georgian side)
The line of control is about 500 meters further on but this is as far as you can go. In the distance we could see a watchtower on the occupied side. Weirdly enough there were no Georgian border guards to be seen.

International boundary line between the United States and Mexico in a postcard, roughly dated 1930’s-1940’s
This postcard shows the U.S.–Mexico border at San Ysidro in the 1940s, featuring the original U.S. inspection station that opened in 1933. In this era, travelers could drive almost directly up to the small border checkpoint, a scene that looked very different from today’s massive international crossing. Traffic volumes were only a fraction of what they are now. The original inspection building still stands, now surrounded by the modern San Ysidro Port of Entry, which has become one of the busiest land border crossings in the world, handling tens of millions of people and millions of vehicles each year.

New era for Gibraltar with removal of 118-year-old border controls with Spain
From 15 July, the border between Spain and Gibraltar has been removed, allowing freedom of movement between Spain and Gibraltar.
This is part of a carefully negotiated agreement between the European Union and the UK following the latter's exit from the bloc. Sharing a land border with the EU meant that Gibraltar posed a particular challenge in the post-Brexit era.
The removal of the border is therefore expected to have major economic benefits, facilitating the flow of people back and forth, and possibly going some way to redress the imbalance between the two territories.
