The Picture Post Project sign with the coordinates reads:

"The Picture Post Project is part of the Digital Earth Watch (DEW) network. DEW supports environmental monitoring by citizens, students and community organizations through digital photography. We need digital pictures to create a time-lapse sequence of photos that will document changes around this picture post throughout the year, and hopefully for years to come. Our goal is to document vegetation changes, erosion, and changes in land use over time.

You can help by taking a set of pictures from this post!

Before you begin, as a reference, take a photo of these instructions to indicate the location and name of this post.

Next, place the bottom of your digital camera flat on the disc, with the back against the side of the octagon that faces north and is marked "N." Align the middle of the back of your camera with the edge of the octagon. Point the lens away from the post.

Use the widest angle lens setting and take a picture. Repeat for the other seven clockwise locations on the octagon.

With the camera pointing skyward and the bottom along the north edge of the octagon, take a picture of the sky and/or leaf canopy overhead.
