That Geograph site seems to get quite a few hits though. |

Not that I am complaining, for myself or POE, but it has never happened before. A similar result happened with Bowness pierhead. Very odd!!! |

And yes Ron i noticed Alans photos when i tried googling Bowness. Really is very strange. I've not noticed anything like it before today which is why I created the thread, just seems very odd |

Tried a few others and not had anything anywhere near that result. Mike has a good point regarding the captioning which might have some bearing on it. But either way it is good for POE if anyone is searching for Ambleside... |
