Halloween is just around the corner, and we couldn't resist highlighting a couple of.. well... bewitching examples.

First, on the Google Earth blog there was a post about a pumpkin KML. We downloaded the KML, added it to Explorer, and gave it a little extra twist by switching to our World Physical basemap and using Swipe on the pumpkin KML to reveal a slice of it.

And then we switched to 2D mode for a different look.

And here's another post on the GIS Education Community blog by Angela Lee that takes on a Halloween theme by displaying a layer package shared on ArcGIS Online to show a thematic map of US pumpkin production.
