Google Earth pro movie to Idaho's Little Salmon River restoration workers

Click on the image on the left or this link to view a High Definition Google Earth Pro movie in a 1280x720 window size. This video is being stored on blip.tv at my blog - gogrimm.blip.tv.

Note that on October 1, I posted an earlier video showing the eroded river bank in this area, before restoration work. This one shows workers creating a "willow weaving net" to stablize the bank.

Also the Google Earth maps for Idaho have been updated with higher resolution throughout the state. This video shows the higher resolution that is available now.

We are currently producing a River Menders interactive web site that is "under construction" to describe the restoration work in Idaho, including the Little Salmon River area.

High Definition Google Earth Fly in to a Real photograph on the Carmel River, CA

Click on the image or this link to view this High Definition video with a window size of 1280 x 720 from Blip.tv This is the same video I posted yesterday that was viewable in a 720x405 window size. It is a Google Earth Fly in to a simple verticle billboard photograph recently taken showing a downstream view from the Schulte Bridge on the Carmel River. Successful riparian restoration efforts starting in the 1980s are very visibile in the plush tree growth on both sides of the river in the photograph.

We have started a Carmel River Wiki Spaces project where people can discuss issues and submit stories and photographs representing restoration efforts on the river.
