The Geograph project has appeared here numerous times over the years. It played a big part in my first trip up to the SAGT Conference.
When it was first launched, I publicised it over on GeographyPages and contributed some early images of the Norfolk area and bagged a few squares along the coast.
The Geograph Project Ltd is a small national charity – an online community and project that maps the British Isles with photographs and information, “to advance the education of the public in geography and heritage”. They have over 6 million moderated, geo-located and dated images on www,geograph.org.uk , made available through a Creative Commons Licence.
Many people use the website to learn about where they live or areas they might visit.
Don't forget that there is also a schools area providing some activities and games that can be played to explore the millions of images.
After a lot of hard work, the site has been translated into Welsh.

Take a look if you haven't been before, or haven't been for a while.
