It only takes a few seconds to send a picture and lots of people are getting involved.
"We want to create a gallery of great Shropshire views, but also a snapshot of life in the region.
"We would like to reflect family life, especially around Christmas when Christmas trees are going up and cakes are being baked.
"And we want people going out for the evening to provide us with an idea of some of the social events happening.
"It might be a show, a nightclub or simply a dinner party with friends."
