Geograph British Isles
Most screenshotfolks have seen postcards of London's Big Ben but what about the South Lighthouse on Fair Isle or the Madejski Stadium near Reading? These less-familiar British nooks are part of the breadth of Jolly Olde England, and locals are scurrying around with cameras to record it all. Like an odd cross between MapQuest and Flickr, this "geographing" site is an online community project to photograph every square kilometer of the British Isles. More than 10,000 images have been submitted so far, covering large swaths of the map. From Porth Hellick Down to Rubha Robhanais and countless motorways in between, the grid squares are filling up fast. As the site's creators say, taking these pictures is a good excuse to get out more. (in Photography)
