There are many parts of the watershed that we'd like to take students to investigate, but don't always get the chance. As a result, we've been taking large-format digital panoramas of some of them this year so you can bring these places into your classroom or computer lab if you choose. Just as an example, here's a shot of Guadalupe Creek in the fog near where it starts on the slopes of Mt. Umunhum.
Double-click on a part of the panorama to zoom, drag it to move around, or click on one of the snapshots at the bottom to see where it is located in the bigger picture.
You can use the controls to zoom in and examine quite a bit of detail -- one fun activity on this particular panorama is to see how many different spiderwebs students can find. We've taken snapshots of a few of them, but are sure you can find others!
More photos of places in our watershed are available for exploration at gigapan.org -- search on "biosite" to find them. Specific activities using the panoramas will be developed for next year, but we wanted you to have the chance to explore them sooner if you would like.
