Webcams of 2005 (the other list)


Earthcam's webcams, what d'ya think? Most interesting? Me? I say: it pays to remember that while it's daylight here, it is darkness somewhere else. Oh, and that one person's poison is another person's poisson. Besides, Earthcam missed Mister Bijou's three favourites.
Item One: the webcam that watches the most famous zebra crossing in the world, and the people who wait for a break in the traffic to make that walk: Abbey Road webcam.
Item Two: the webcam that surveys a certain little island in the South China Sea: a little island's webcam
Item Three: White Island Crater, New Zealand. In May 2004, someone placed Fred and Wilma Flintstone's pet dinosaur, Dino, in front of the webcam. That screen-grab is from August 2004, but I knew it would be useful one day. Anyway, it was expected that the plastic toy would not survive long in the corrosive environment but... Dino lives!
