I love a good webcam. Most are low resolution, but one of my favourite uses a digital camera (as apposed to an actual “webcam”) for a good quality snap of English Bay and “Downtown Vancouver”, every 15 minutes.
I like to use the URL above, but the actual image is from www.katkam.ca which can give you some interesting background information on the webcam site.
The webcam camera faces west, so you can view a Canadian sunset every day.
Checking the webcam image on a regular basis can result in some stark contrasts.
The latitude of Vancouver means that the location of the setting sun, and the climate change dramatically over the year. The beach in the foreground can be covered in snow, or people in shorts and t-shirts lapping up the Summer sun.
From time to time, you can also see special events, such as parades, fairs and fireworks.
