I think that this photo (above) has all five of the themes of geography. The first theme is movement, and the cars and motorcycles in the picture are moving, carying ideas, to New York. They move along asphalt and cement roads which were created by clearing out the environment in that area. The point mentioned before is an example of the third theme (H/E interaction). You can tell these cars and infrastructure are part of the western region because the writing is English and the state of New York is in the USA. This is also part of the location. The full location is probably somewhere on one of the boulevards coming into NYC. The photo is connected to many overlapping regions of culture. The first major one is of the USA and New York State. On a broader scale, the "West" and on a smaller scale, Interstate 95. This place is unique from all the other places for a few reasons, the first being that it is located in New York instead of anywhere else. Also it has a special type of sign that was discontinued from use shortly after all the intestates leading into New York Area were completed.
