I went to see this 'Arab Uprising' exhibition in Cardiff a couple of weeks ago. It's well worth visiting (up a very steep staircase!). As well as the excellent photos, there's a wall of images drawn from net sources, and film clips from YouTube and related sources. Recommended.

Geograph

I was reading Victor Keegan's article 'A short stroll around my hyperlocal' in the Guardian yesterday. It's an interesting article, despite the broken hyperlinks, and it got me thinking about Geograph.

You might recall that I was using Street Map recently to chart various mosques in the UK - a project that is still ongoing. Of course, another way of looking at mosques is via Geograph. I've looked at this before, but never in this context. A quick search came up with 199 images. Obviously I haven't looked at them all, but there are some fine photos on the site. It would make for a useful teaching resource, if used appropriately (don't get me started about online resources).

Here's my search results. If your local mosque is not there, why not add it. I hope that Geograph gets properly archived!
