Modern day Domesday book

Being an Anthony Gormley fan, a snow-capped photograph of his “Angel of the North” sculpture averted my recently opened eyes and I hastily looked down to the text below it.

A website is trying to obtain a photograph for every square mile of the British Isles. The site recently received its millionth submission, with over 1000 a day since its creation. With only the remote parts of Scotland being un-captured, the creators are perhaps just moments away from achieving their seemingly impossible idea.

I highly recommend you take just a quick glance at this amazing site, your area, his village, my city all captured by amateur and professional photographers alike. For example, Gillingham’s recently boarded up Woolworths; or how about our very own Gillingham building! The creators must have seemed completely mad when they came up with this idea last year, but now they are very close to producing this fantastic map of Modern Britain. The site urges all viewers to continue submitting their photographs to keep building up areas, I gave mine in yesterday…
