Last night Geograph British Isles covered its 100,000th grid square. It’s just incredible that in just over a year we’ve got an image for 40% of the 1km grid squares in Great Britain. It’s also good to see that depth is being developed too – we’ve over 160,000 images in total, and it looks likely that number of images per grid square will only increase over time.

The growth has been remarkably steady – we’ve averaged around 500 new photos a day for some time now…

It’s pretty impressive going for a site that has had a zero budget, and the end result is a wonderful, growing resource of Creative Commons licenced pictures and information.

A huge thankyou to the thousands of crazy individuals who’ve got the “Geograph bug” and go out taking the pictures. I salute you!
