Three of twenty new squares added this week in the Outer Hebrides. Great to see more wild areas getting recorded www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i... www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3729

Another 10km square completed, NG91 in northwest Scotland. Still other gaps to fill by those who get into the wilds www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i...

Another milestone* reached, with 8 million photos now available on the site, all geolocated and CC-licensed from Great Britain and Ireland. A great record of our diverse islands. More photos always welcome! *statistical milestone, we have tens of thousands of photos of actual milestones

Another 10km square completed, NN16, south of Fort William www.geograph.org.uk/mapper/?lat=...

Another 10km square completed, NC34 in northwest Scotland. Great to see remote areas getting more coverage. www.geograph.org.uk/mapper/?lat=...

Eroding cliffs at Sewerby. Image number 8,000,000 for the site and an excellent record of change, and geography in action www.geograph.org.uk/photo/8000000

Our first photo, submitted 20 years ago today. Now over 7,950,000 photos of Britain and Ireland on the site - where will our eight millionth be? www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4

For the new month, here's a March image from one of my @geograph-gbi.bsky.social calendars, taken on this day five years ago: Looking North at Minsmere Haven. www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7294441

Three recently submitted photos, typical of the winter so far. Over 10,000 photos submitted already this year, as we rapidly approach our 8 millionth photo in the archive

2024 in numbers: 268,748 photos submitted (bringing total to 7,915,829) by 622 contributors, covering 84,497 grid squares. Still more areas without photos in Ireland and the wilds of Scotland, and many more details and changes to record where we do have photos. 2025 will bring our 20th birthday!

Walking round the local vineyards. This one was first planted in 2017. It still seems odd to see them in the English landscape.

Photos quickly go from relatively mundane to important records of times past. We try to collect such photos and tell the story of our amazingly diverse islands, from pubs to seafronts to mountaintops and everything in between. All contributions welcome

Another 10km square completed, NB03 on Lewis with a photo of a ruined shieling www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7933626

Where don't we have photos? In England and Wales it is mostly mudflats, islets and MOD land, in Scotland there are still gaps - good targets if you want to get somewhere rarely visited. 3359 squares left out of 244,324. Lots of areas still without photos in Ireland. www.geograph.org.uk/mapper/

Things change, even landscapes we think of as fixed. Recording how things are, and what they become is important

We get about 5000 photos submitted each week, these are selection of some of the recently taken ones.

After several subzero days and a low of -11C, the Dee and the Lui are icing over nicely at Mar Lodge Estate. It is, however, VERY low water as it hasn't rained in earnest for a month!

The website has been running for almost 20 years, and has many archive photos uploaded from before that. Some things stay much the same, others come and go. We're building an archive of all of it, and having fun exploring our islands along the way

To introduce ourselves here, we are a website collecting geographically interesting photos of Britain and Ireland, all geolocated and CC licensed for reuse. Still some grid squares with no photos, others with many, recording different details and changes over seasons and years. www.geograph.org.uk
