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
Afternoon everyone. We’ve reached the surreal point in time where Google Street View has become a historical reference point…
Straker Street at Jarrow was once home to at least 3 pubs, with the Allison Arms being one of them. It’s shown below on Google 4 years before its demolition in 2012.

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
Beautiful light this morning, on my way to check how the path work is going. Pine regeneration climbing up the hill 🙂

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
