[Paddlewise] Photos of the entire California Coastline

 I came across this very interesting site that has photos of the entire
California coast. It should be of interest to fellow kayakers:
http://www.californiacoastline.org/

Below is a description of the site:

Environmental activist Ken Adelman with his Nikon D1X, Robinson R-44
Helicopter and an Apple PowerBook is taking thousands of photographs of the
California coastline. His images are being used to identify illegal seawalls
and for other environmental uses. So far he's taken 7,000 images, and
expects this to rise to 10,000 when he's completed the entire coastline. All
of the images are available on his website californiacoastline.org. "The
camera is linked with a cable to the helicopter's global positioning system,
and to an Apple Power Book laptop. Every three seconds, he snaps a picture,
and the exact longitude, latitude and altitude are recorded."
