Photographs of every plot within the Networked Info-mechanical Systems (NIMS) grid in Barrow, Alaska were taken once on August 2nd for summer 2011. Photographs were taken directly above each plot using a push-cart system mounted onto the NIMS cables. Two identical point and shoot digital cameras were triggered simultaneously in order to capture the entire plot. The "BluePanasonic" camera captures one half of each plot and the "RedPanasonic" camera captures the other half of each plot. Stitching of the images was not completed for any plot but can easily be accomplished using one of many software packages. These clearly depict what vegetation type is present at every meter throughout the NIMS grid.
