Ok, I have a new favorite thing.... I discovered a website called "Nova Scotia Web Cams".... how come no one ever told me this was here before!?!?! I'm officially addicted! I love it!! It is an awesome way to see places all over the province LIVE right from the comforts of your own home! Now mind you everything looks WAY better in person (just sayin' from experience), but it really is a neat place to go to check things out.
Already, I have a few favorite cams from the list. One is the cam set up in Digby over looking the Wharf.... now I see that view at a side angle from my own home, but it is kinda neat to check it out now and then, it's actually one of my favorite views in NS to photograph (not just because I live there either LOL) There are also some beautiful sunrises there every morning, so if you're ever up early check it out!
Of course the one in Peggy's Cove looking out at the Peggy's Point Lighthouse is another favorite of mine. That place is just breath taking and I could stare at that light all day, whether it's a rough sea day and the waves are crashing high, or it's a calm evening and you get to witness the stunning sunsets that sets behind her, you'll enjoy what this cam has to offer. I try to watch the Sunset there as often as I can :)
Another neat cam, actually it's a set of cams, are the ones set up so that you can see the progress that is being made on the Bluenose II. It's just kinda cool to check on once in a while to see how things are progressing.
My favorite web cam in the list.... the Lobster Cam in Halifax Harbour! How cool is it to be able to watch live footage under the sea?? Ok, maybe not so spectacular for some but I sure enjoy it. I've seen all kinds of things in the lobster trap, fish, Urchins, a lot of Starfish, and yes I've even seen a LOBSTER! imagine that! LOL Anyway, it's fun to keep an eye on.
So yea, it's a lot of fun looking through these cams, and they've got a lot more being put up this year, I'm interested to find out where. Not to sound like an advertiser or anything, but it's a great tool to "try before you buy", you know, take a look before you plan your trip; but I wasn't kidding when I said all these places look better in person, so you should really check them out. :)
Happy & Safe Travels
