Anyone heard of Geographing?

If you haven't, then this may be the time to find out what it's all about...

http://www.geograph.org.uk/

All you need is the grid reference of the area you either live or are interested in and type it into the search box at the top right hand side of the screen.
For example....SO4972 is near to where I live...Yes I live in a forest, very close to Sunny gutter!!!

If you are an avid photographer and have pictures of areas that you would like to share with others then you can join and upload them. The idea of the site is to fill every grid square with views of the British Isles.

This may have already been posted before..if so I apologize in advance

Never heard of it, but here is an aerial view of where I live - I live in the woods! (where the red "X" is).

Wow another 'hermit' of the woods

('waving' to helen)
Okay just how did you get that shot? Strap a camera to the back of a red kite?

LOL! I can't remember now where I got it from, it's from a website, where one types in the postcode, and up comes an aerial view! I'll put my thinking cap on and get back to you on that one....
