One of the most interesting phenomenon of our modern world is the proliferation of web cams in many of the cities in the world. I seem to remember seeing hundreds in London alone. For fathers, having a web cam in a city in which one of your adult offspring is living makes the distance feel closer. Obviously, it tells you so much more than a picture… the weather, the crowds or lack of people are all there to view in real time.
It is for this reason that I have web cams of Cape town, South Africa (the pictures above are of Table Moutain and a beach in Cape town) and Hawaii on my desktop… oh yes, the girls would not allow radio controlled collars or subcutaneous transponders… for some reason?
Cape town looks very beautiful today.
