Well, it's geograph.*org*.uk, and you might as well look at 
[[:Category:Geograph_images]]

9,562 :-)

So they have what, a little over a million? I'd say thanks, but no thanks. It 
really is a pity that they rescale to 640 pixels. If we import all of them 
we'd be essentially duplicating their hosting effort with a much worse 
interface (no offense), and we'd just clutter up our picture collection with 
technically inferior images (and I challenge you to categorize them all!).
