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." an article in the mercury news can be reached: http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/4401100.htm *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Nope, but I'm just starting to work on a prototype system that will eventually become a web based system for viewing aerial photos of New York state. When I showed he woman that is in charge of the photos the Washington State shoreline photos page she was very interested as she apparently has some similar photos of the shoreline of the Hudson river. The system I will be designed will handle a variety of aerial photos. Apparently, aerial photos of the entire state are taken about every 10 years, so in some cases you'll be able to identify a location and see several aerial photos taken on different years. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
