196 Countries - 196 Photos.

That's my aim. There are currently 196 countries widely recognised as being independent: the 193 member states of the UN plus Vatican City, Kosovo and Taiwan.

I've been fortunate enough to have visited most of them....although some were back in the pre-digital age and the quality of scans (and sometimes pictures) isn't the best.

Click on an image to view it - they look much better when enlarged.

Great gallery, fantastic idea!
Happypoppeye26-Dec-2009 23:53
...nope - you are correct it looks like. 195 sounds to be the "best" answer...
Happypoppeye26-Dec-2009 23:51
I thought there were closer to 240... I may be wrong, but either way, good idea and good luck!!!
Guest 19-Nov-2009 00:37
Intriguingly 'common scenes', where the viewer would have a difficult time pin pointing the origin without your input. Well done.... Jv V!

they are almost all very good in their own right, but together they make a great and inspired tour of humanity, v.
