The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The River Mole splits in two upriver of Island Barn Reservoir to then merge at East Molesey, just upriver from the bridge carrying Hampton Court Way. The larger channel is called the River Ember. The joined rivers then flow for another 400 metres before joining the River Thames at the eastern end of East Molesey, opposite Hampton Court Palace. This is the channel of the River Ember looking upriver, seen from Esher Road. The bridge crossing the narrower, but more natural, River Mole is about 50 metres to the north.
