There's a whole slew of photos that are just pretty pictures of random sights. Some have a tree or something in it, but several don't have a living plant in the photo. I know this is an ongoing problem, maybe we can somehow tweak this section of the site to return it to its intended purpose - highlighting garden combinations. The difficulty with mobile devices and tagging has been discussed and I can see that this would make it impossible for many members to post their great photos. Maybe we could do something more along the lines of requiring at least 2 plants tagged or listed in the comments? Or add a place to list plants featured in the photos? If no plants are identified, it can't be posted. I realize this would eliminate some photos where the poster has no idea what they are taking a photo of. Maybe an incentive to attempt to find out or ask for help on the plant ID forum?

I like to look at pretty pictures too, I just don't want to see sunsets and hot air balloons on the gardening site. There are plenty of other places on the internet to post pretty pictures.
