Default The hometown webcam thread

Post a webcam that nicely covers your area or hometown.

I start:

Münster, Germany, several moving perspectives:

Brilliant idea Sky.

I live just to the left of the Opera House in the background.

The cam looks like it's in Milson's point on the north side of the harbour.

I love my city.

I'm trying to find a webcam for Kings Cross/Potts Point but no luck so far. Either stolen if there was one, or nobody wants their mug broadcast.

Yeah, cool idea:

Downtown Salt Lake City. The Mormon Temple and Tabernacle are on the left side. The view is looking southwest. The mountain range in the distance are the Oquirrh range. The look dark, but towards the middle is a lighter smudge. That is the Bingham Canyon Copper mine, the largest open-pit mine in the world. It's about 25 miles away from this viewpoint.

I couldn't find a good working cam for the area, but just a 30 minute drive away are seven ski resorts all packed with snow.

The others have good reasons not to reveal in what terrible places they live!

Strait after I had read and watched a little of his live stream I made a search to see if we have something similar on our little island I live on.

I could only find one and this live-stream was on our local golf course.

Which is a shame, ´cause I live on a very beautiful island.

Yep, I lived on East Skyline Parkway back in the day, had a fantastic view of Lake Superior and the harbor from there.
