Cracking photos.

The view surrounding the cabin in the lake from yesterday is just sublime.

That was Lake Braies on the Alta Via route in the Dolomites in July, 2018. The area is Fanes-Senes-Braies naturpark.

It's one of mine today. We had a great holiday in the Brecons last August - a part of the UK I've never been before - lovely!

In fact, the day of that walk was GCSE results day. My son was awaiting his results, but we were staying in a cottage with no wifi or phone signal. His results came through on his phone when we were half way up Pen Y Fan.

How does the route picture of the day get selected - Is it from pictures added on the previous day? And then randomly (or Fetch chooses) selected?

Lord Fetch uses his random pic selector from all of the photos we’ve attached to our routes from down the ages😁

Snail - I think Fetch reviews all new routes submitted (on a regular basis) and adds any that pass his rigorous approval process to the queue.
(there was a filler a few months back where fetch found a bunch of routes not checked, so some old ones got added in, but now I think it's back to a regular check)
I'm not sure what the queue is like now. It's often 2-3 months worth.

It would be interesting to know how longer the queue is! I started submitting new routes when the badges became available but none have made it through the queue yet (or didn’t pass the 'rigeous approval process' ;-) ). I hoping to get a few more soon :-)

There are about 40-50 in the queue.

I tend to reject:

1) blurred / badly cropped
2) those with recognisable people
3) non-level horizons
4) pics with no obvious “there’s the route” feel.

cw - send fetch a few 'used' pictures of JMW Turner, or Alan Turing, in a brown envelope, along with your name ... ;-)

I am sure that will 'smooth' the process
