Webcams have been around for over three decades. The first
was installed at Cambridge University Computer Lab, so researchers would know when
to refill their shared coffee pot. Today, there are far more interesting
webcams out there. All you need is Internet access and a bit of time on your
hands. My favorite is in Whitby. I could sit for hours and watch the tide come
and go beneath 199 steps to Whitby Abbey. Another fun webcam is mounted on the
International Space Station. From there, you can see sunrises and sunsets every
45 minutes. There’s another on Abbey Road, so you can find out who’s using the
famous zebra crossing right now. Norway mounts webcams on the front of their
trains. I can’t imagine a better way to view Norwegian landscapes. There are
several at the San Diego Zoo. You can observe 11 different species there,
including tigers, elephants and pandas. Next best thing to being there!
