Webcam of the world unite!

Fancy a tour round the world without leaving the comfort of your armchair? Then the world of the Webcam is for you.

For the uninitiated a webcam is a video camera giving a continuous feed to the Internet. The image is updated from every second or two to even as much as every hour.

Where to find the view you want though. Well try Earthcam for starters.

Here you’ll find all sorts of things ranging from the romance of Paris, to the natural majesty of the Niagara Falls. There’s bridges galore from the Golden Gate to the Whitby Swing, there’s ones full of activity (New York’s Times Square) to less frantic, more calming ones like Live Lava Lamp cam!

For nature lovers there is the impressive Old Faithful Geyser Webcam, the view over Cape Town towards Table Top Mountain and even a bird table in Douglas, Isle of Man.

For the more adventurous among you how about joining the Webcam crowd? While it isn’t simple and it will have an effect on your usage allowance it can easily be done.

For more advice have a look at Cowboy Frank’s and the ICWEBCAMS advice pages.

Till then here’s two of the favourites here at Bertha Central.
