United Kingdom: Complete photo coverage?

The community at Geograph have only been geotagging photo’s since May 2005 and there are over 41,000 photos already! I am seriously impressed. Their stated purpose is to:

…collect a geographically representative photograph for every square kilometre of the British Isles and you can be part of it…

There’s hardly any photographs left to take where I live (Isle of Man). The red squares signify where there’s a picture, anything green is still up for grabs.

Geograph.co.uk: Isle of Man

Looking at some of the photo’s I recognised a few names from the Geocaching crowd as well. I wonder how long it will be before they put a KML Layer together for Google Earth?

Now all we need is to get Geograph and Geobloggers together - how about it guys?
