Inspired by PenquinOpus' original post, I took a subset of frames from the Oct 1, 2004 video and spliced them into a new timeline animation. (source: WebCam)



Ultimately it would be great to have these as textures on a polygon, instead of a screenoverlay.

Finally found the famous 1980 photos by Gary Rosenquist: USGS site

Actually, it's pretty easy to add these to a texture polygon, I've done this with webcams, although to get any reasonable efficiency you need to make a separate collada object for each timestep.

I did a quick test of this with four webcams and a conference room, in which our server automatically generates a kml files and a series of .dae and .jpg files for putting each webcam's image on a wall. Here's a screenshot:

New set, this time with the photos from Gary Rosenquist.

Nice composit photo, but your marker is not at Bear Meadow. Bear Meadow is at: 46 18 49.95N, 122 02 11.24W. Your marker is about 6 miles off.
