Geograph - photograph every grid square

Post: # 56803Post Shirley »

What is Geographing?

* It's a game - how many grid squares will you contribute?
* It's a geography project for the people
* It's a national photography project
* It's a good excuse to get out more!
* It's a free and open online community project for all

Brilliant idea - don't you think.

I'm surprised I haven't come across this before - I'm addicted to geotagging the photos on my Flickr account and sometimes also use that to check out an area I am due to visit. This looks like an even better resource for many parts of the UK.

I was surprised to find that it's been going for 2 years or thereabouts.... I've managed to get one 'first geograph' and there are a few in my area that haven't been taken.

Wulf... I've just added you to my flickr contacts :D Great pics!!

Thanks - you have some nice images in your own collection, too (am I right in guessing that you are working through a large backlog of photos? the dates seem all over the place).

Nothing on Geograph yet though, and it is fairly densely filled in round here.
