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.

Carmel River Restoration Wiki started

Our long time associate and friend Harrison Hilbert, has taken recurring photographs of the Carmel River Restoration in California over a 30 year period. Katy Flanagan and I helped him digitize 35 mm slides and prints and created a multimedia slide show presentation showing the progressive changes. People associated with the Carmel River have asked "H" to send his digital images for potential printing on posters and/or posting on the internet.

In the late 1960s and 70s we were all heavily involved in the development of Common Adventure Bulletin Board Social Networking concepts associated with colleges and communities before the age of the personal computer or the Internet. We decided to experiment with a the new wiki services available today to make the photos and stories of his knowledge of the river available and to encourage others to do the same.

Two days ago we started to create a new Wikispaces project. It is still under construction but you can now view the Carmel River Restoration Wiki project.
