Link from [livejournal.com profile] indyansel: The Geograph Project. Collect a geographically representative photograph for every square kilometre of the British Isles.

I thought of [livejournal.com profile] mactavish. I could imagine her starting a similar project for California.

I went to look at the photographs from the Orkneys and Duncansby and they make my heart sing. I whimper with the knowledge that I was once in a place as beautiful as northern Scotland and I left it to come home.

See also the degree confluence project (http://confluence.org/) about taking pictures on every integer lat/long intersection point, which currently has coverage in 166 countries, for a wider-scope but lower-resolution version of this concept... more about "sampling" than being interpretively representative, though.
