Obligatory link to a fascinating (because it is so mundane) photograph of the East Coast terminus of a fiber link
The photographer, Taryn Simon, has a fascinating book of images of places that are not accessible to the public ("An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar")
> My favourite is the Transatlantic Submarine Cables Reaching Land (VSNL International, Avon, NJ). It is really scary to realize that something that looks so fragile and mundane as those orange cables holds the key to all the virtuality that has come to almost constitute the essence of my life.
