This webcam provides a view of the Laibach Vineyards, situated on the slopes of the Simonsberg in the Muldersvlei bowl. According to the Laibach Vineyards website, this is one of the prime red wine growing area in South Africa. The Laibach Vineyards webcam images are taken every hour between 07:00 and 18:00 daily. On a clear day Table Mountaincan be seen. I'm suddenly longing for a nice glass of wine.
Talk about beautiful - look at the view from the Grundlsee webcam in Austria. From what I can glean from some travel sites on the web, Grundlsee is a little town in the middle of Austria, right at the center of the "Styrian Salzkammergut" or the lake district around the salt mine area. According to one site I visited the population of this tiny town is 1,200. Approximately 56 miles from Salzburg and 240 miles from Vienna, this village overlooks a lovely lake of the same name. Evidently, the word 'see' means 'lake' in German. One thing is for sure, this looks like a picture out of a fairy tale. When I was just out of college, I went to Europe for 6 weeks and once place we visited was Salzburg. This reminds me of the beauty of that area.
I love flamingos. I have been enamored of them since I first saw them as a kid - probably in an illustration from Alice in Wonderland. Here is a great streaming video cam from the National Zoo in Washington DC showing these beautiful birds in action - it's the flamingo cam. I wish I could put it up in a little corner of my computer and just watch it all day long.

I had a chance to visit Niagara Falls last week - taking a little side trip while in Toronto for business. Niarara Fall is someplace that I have always wanted to visit and it was even more spectacular than I had imagined. The highlight of the trip was getting a close up view of the falls by taking a ride on the Maid of the Mist. Now that's a boat ride that will stick in my mind forever. It was an amazing way to see the falls. Great views of the falls can be had from other Niagara cams including the Niagara Hi-Res cam, and the Edge of the Falls cam. You can also check out the Niagara River cam or even listen to the falls when you visit. Maybe while you are at it you will decide to see the falls in person and book a room at the Sheraton Fallsview, the hotel that provides access to the images from these great cams. We didn't stay there overnight - having just taken a day tour - but we did eat at the Fallsview Restaurant overlooking the falls and enjoyed every minute of it.

This Lake Superior webcam is part of the EarthCam's MetroCam Network. The cam provides a nice sharp live image from the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota. "The biggest, coldest and cleanest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake, by surface area, on earth. It holds enough to fill all the other Great Lakes with plenty to spare. Lake Superior's deepest point is 1,332 feet." It looks pretty cold to me.

Flowers anyone? This flower cam tells the tale of flowers fresh from the cooler located in a retail store in St. Paul, Minnesota. It's a large walk-in fresh flower cooler and if you are lucky you can catch a customer selecting some beautiful blooms. The store also has two G-scale trains travel over 300' around the store and according to the cam info, the train can occasionally be seen going through the cooler on the upper-right side of the image. I've never seen the train although I have seen customers come and go. The Flower Cam image updates every 10 seconds during store hours. It's definitely unique and well - it's very peaceful too. So stop and smell the virtual flowers.
