THE IDYLLWILD SCRAPBOOK

360 degree panorama photography is simply the best way to artificially visualize a subject, whether its a landscape, a family photo, or a product shot. The Scrapbook has about 30 panorama photos.

idyllwild photo

Panoramas

One of the great things to do in Idyllwild is to photograph. Its seems everything is worthy of a snapshot. Over the years, we have organized about 400 favorite photographs and Quicktime VRs (panoramas) and placed them into a new, searchable online format.

The Green Cafe proudly presents ...
The Idyllwild Scrapbook


SATELLITE IMAGERY

Satellite imagery is also an indispensable tool for determining weather conditions. Below is a recent satellite image of the Western United States and the Pacific Ocean. The image is updated roughly every thirty minutes or so and in case you are curious, the GREEN CIRCLE is centered on Idyllwild, California. Animations for last 4 hours, last 12 hours and last 24 hours are also available.

Captured: Sat 4:50 AM Feb 4, 2012


*** To view animation, click on 4 HR, 12 HR or 24 HR tab and move mouse pointer anywhere near the green circle on satellite image and wait a few seconds for the animated weather to start.

A new feature on our site is the daily snapshot of weather conditions in neighboring communities.

The following towns are provided for comparison: Idyllwild (Idy), Hemet (Hmt), Beaumont (Beaumt), Palm Desert (PD) and Temecula (Tem). Precipitation chart only shows during a rain episode. Clicking on any of the graphs will produce a larger chart. FYI, the rightmost edge of the chart ALWAYS represents current weather conditions.

Idyllwild Film Festival and International Movie Classics every week

Cafe Cinema Event
Fri Feb. 3 @ 7 PM
Feature: THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
1939 (91 Min)
Mystery
USA

Repeat Performance (1947)

On Friday, Feb 3, Cafe Cinema will exhibit the first of the fourteen Sherlock Holmes movies starring Rathbone and Bruce as the detective duo. THE HOUND OF THE BASKER- VILLES is considered by many the best version from the classic novel and is a delightful and atmospheric film. It is also where the famous line "Murder, my dear Watson." was uttered. Interesting enough, this phrase is never actually uttered by Holmes in any of the sixty Holmes stories written by Conan Doyle.

The Hounds of the Baskervilles (1939)

The world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, is a fictional detective written by Scottish author (and physician) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes spends much of his time with his good friend and assistant Dr. John H. Watson, who lives with the detective. His residence is maintained by his landlady, Mrs. Hudson. What makes Holmes such a compelling detective is his extreme powers of deduction. For Friday's showing, we have the newly restored print.

Repeat Performance (1947)

This event takes place at the ALL NEW Cafe Cinema now located at its new home. Click HERE for directions.

Cafe Cinema has weekly screenings of great films and is a production of and local filmic venue outlet for Idyllwild Film Festival.

Please visit our website, www.cafecinema.org for full reviews. You can follow us on our NEW Facebook page by clicking below.

Admission is FREE - Showtime 7:00 PM

Films shown in 2011 are now posted in our archives.

Where: Mtn. Harvest Market

Every Saturday, from 10 AM to 3 PM, there is a food bazaar set up in front of Mountain Harvest Market. Organic and fresh produce, at discount prices, attracts many to this weekly festive open air event. Mountain Harvest Market is a Idyllwild based, independently owned and operated, healthy foods store. They are staffed, supported and sustained by our local mountain community. Note: If the weather is inclement, the market moves indoors.

PLANET RISE / SET TIMES
IN IDYLLWILD
Idyllwild is a wonderful place to 'gaze' at the stars, planets, and moon. Below are the rise & set times (24 hour format) of all the planets in our solar system (including Pluto). The celestial bodies are arranged in chronological rise time order and can be experienced in the Idyllwild area by looking in the lower southeast sky (towards Garner Valley).

If the name of the planet is in purple, then it is currently visible under suitable conditions. To view the setting planet, look in the lower southwest sky, towards Hemet.
