Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna): Here's the UC Berkeley "Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth Harbin for Tourism" talk I gave in December 2020 in the Cal Anthropology department for a Tourism Studies' Working Group meeting, (which I think I prevented from being scheduled for a Google TakeOut) - and which may lead to the building of a Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs as well - SGK MacLeod TSWG 12 18 2020 Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth Harbin for Tourism.mp4 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rjAgHoN1uE4JcuGPiVnvDibpA0Fd4StA/view?usp=sharing ?

Dear Peter, 

Greetings, and I hope this email finds you well. How are you doing? 

How, please, to get this link download with a recent TakeOut email from Google to open as the video file I'd like to save and then repost (I think) ?

And for  this video - 
SGK MacLeod TSWG 12 18 2020 Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth Harbin for Tourism.mp4 

I downloaded the data in a Zip file (and with some other blogger etc files just now)

Thoughts?
