Pictures of the same location provide a wealth of information and data to monitor changing environmental conditions.
A Picture Post is an easy-to-use tool that lets you take digital photographs of the same landscape every time you use the post. 
By collecting and sharing these images, we may watch and measure the seasonal patterns of nature, and many other kinds of change over time.

Here is a brief list with overviews of interesting activities and instructions to get you started!
