Favorite Webcams and Why?

Neil · 06-14-2005, 11:24 AM

Lately I've been wondering if other people have a favorite webcams out there on the internet, so I figured I would start this thread.

Mine is a webcam(s) of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It's my favorite because there are actually two and it's Paris. One shows the entire length of the tower, while the other is zoomed in. It's usually at the base of the tower but pans up for a few seconds on some set schedule. I dig it because you can actually see people moving in the zoomed cam, as well as the carousel spinning.

I loooove Paris. If someone handed me a ticket right now I'd be out the door and on that plane. So I check this cam a lot. I've only been once, but I want to go back, however I have a list of other places I need to hit up before I make any return trips. Anyway, here's the cam link.

I'm pretty sure that I can be arrested in Utah if I list my favorite web-cams... 😲

(I am so kidding...really...honey, I'm not even sure to what that joke refers...errrr...help?)

That's really neat. My best friend is leaving on a month long trip to Europe 😢 and I showed it to her and now she's obsessing about it! Thanks! :D

I like the one at skiutah.com.

Actually, I don't think it's at skiutah.com, but it's really at the National Weather Service and linked there.

It's fun to send the URL of that webcam to relatives in California.

I'm going to set up a Web cam to monitor my neighbors kids lighting off fireworks on my lawn. I called the West Valley Police and they don't want to do anything about it. (Okay, I've vented)

I like the UDOT Web cams where I can view traffic. I also like the Web cams in Las Vegas where I can view the strip. I'm too lazy to look up the links right now.

Oh yeah, DadOf3, get help!

I like the Vegas cams as well. Mmmmm, Vegas.

Here's another cam I dig. It's in Amsterdam on a popular shopping street called Kalverstraat. I like it because you can control where it looks, which is always nice.

Click on the Koningsplein, it's probably the best view. If you watch for a minute you can watch the Tram drive by. It's just kind of neat.

Okay, one more...

Here's a page with four cams in London. This first one is on Trafalgar Square. You can watch the double-decker red buses drive by. For some reason I am fascinated by a bus driving down a street on the other side of the world and that I can watch that.

I know, I'm a dork.

They are too busy busting Grandmas for playing bingo.
