New Boise and other Idaho Cities Google Earth 3D imagery has just become available.

For the past few years Google Earth has been adding a new kind of 3D imagery in cities around the world. I looked at the recent update on the Google Earth Blog and found Boise and other cities in the Treasure Valley has just been added.
Other cities in Idaho that contain the new 3D imagery are Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene.

 I am adding one screen shot here that shows the area outlined in red where you can see the new imagery in the Treasure Valley, including the Boise River near Boise, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell when you turn on the 3-D buildings in the Google Earth Browser.

Below  I I will also add a screen shot showing the new imagery near Barber Park and the Boise River.

2017 Total Solar Eclipse Path Across Idaho

I just read another article with good photos and information about the Total Solar "Eclipse of a Lifetime" on August 21, 2017. "Start planning for it now!" I will add two screen shot photos here identifying the eclipse path for my friends who live in, or will visit, Idaho during the eclipse.

For friends who live in or visit Idaho, below are 2 static maps showing the path and some of the towns the total solar eclipse will cross in Idaho on Monday August 21, 2017.  It will be interesting to see what these communities do to celebrate this celestial phenomena.  Please comment if you have ideas for these celebrations.
