This site to behold is found in Geneva, Switzerland and is called the Junction of two rivers because of the simple fact that the waters never mix. The river on the left is Rhone and is so cold that it keeps from blending completely with the Arve river (hot water is less dense than cold water). As such it creates a beautiful site that no one would even think to expect.
Arve, which receives water from many glaciers of the Chamonix valley before flowing northwest into the Rhone on the west side of Geneva, where its higher levels of silt creates this striking contrast between the two rivers.
This site is on my bucket list for obvious reasons.
