Geotagged photos from Prince of Wales Island, Alaska

We had a long weekend to explore the Northern section of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska - May 29 through May 31, 2009. I have posted a few of the images from this trip on my Picasa Web Album page. Each album and each photo is geotagged and you can view them on a Google Map and also in Google Earth. (However, for the Macintosh, Picasa web apparently does not let you view the images in Google Earth. This does work for a Windows PC .)

May 30 - Exchange Bay to Memorial Beach and Labouchere Bay.

May 31 - Labouchere Bay to Coffman Cove and back to Klawock.

Gigapan Photos Southeast Alaska and British Columbia

I shot and have produced several Gigapan images that allow you to zoom in to see telephoto details from a recent trip through Canada to Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. You can see these on my Gigapan web site page.

Please note on the web page above you can view these Gigapan Photos in a full screen mode for a higher quality image. There is also an option to view these images in the 3D Google Earth browser where they line up almost exactly with the horizon and direction of view.

One example showing the downtown harbor area and mountains near downtown Ketchikan is embedded below.

Another Gigapan below shows Labouchere Bay on the Northern part of Prince of Wales Island.

HD Google Earth Fly-in to Sal Creek Restoration, Tongass National Forest Alaska

YouTube has recently provided a way to upload High Definition Videos.  I have embedded one of my recent uploads to this page below.  However, to see a larger High Definition window size you have to go to my You Tube page.  An option to see this YouTube video in "High Definition" quality will become visible (after you hit the > Play arrow) by moving your cursor over the ^ arrow on the right side bottom of the video window.  The window size stays the same on this page, but the quality is improved dramatically.

This video contains a fly in from space to Sal Creek on Prince of Wales, Island in Alaska, where we are photographing the changes that take place over time as restoration work is done.  A Google Earth KML file linking to a Google EArth 3D view, several full screen, High Definition 360 degree panoramas and videos can be found on our Mountain Visions Google Earth Tour Gallery page.
