More WME Landmarks

Shock horror, its time for me to wheel out one of my well-trodden WME Blogspot catchphrases again! You know the one, "things have been very quiet on the galleries recently but I've now made a few little updates to get things moving again". I might be at risk of sounding like a seriously scratched record, but the statement is true - and in this case the new additions have allowed me to reach a couple more of those cherished WME milestones...

Congratulations are firstly due for WME Staffordshire, which can now celebrate reaching 200 photos with some nice springtime shots of Victoria Park in Stafford and some flowers on Exploring Pattingham. The landmark provides further evidence of WME Staffordshire's growth into being one of the WME big-hitters, whereby the likes of Dudley, Walsall and Sandwell are still trailing some way behind.

Also celebrating is Exploration Extra having reached its own century of photos. I'm actually more pleased with this achievement than the Staffordshire one, as I've put in a fair bit of effort trying to get old Extra into shape as a respectable photo repository in its own right. The 100 photo barrier was broken thanks to additions to the London 2007 collection (Aldgate East tube station and the Ten Bells pub at Whitechapel), and to Rail Rover 2007 (a couple of Crewe Station shots).

Some good news there then, and its also worth noting an addition to WME Walsall where a view of the 364 at New Invention joins Walsall by Bus (I just like the photo and was determined to mention it somewhere!) I am hoping, as ever, that these latest updates will prove to be the start of concerted series of additions, but we'll just have to wait and see. Whisper it quietly, but Shropshire and Warwickshire might be seeing some action soon...
