Virtual Journeys

Travel Notes: Travel Articles - Live Around The World.
Somebody wanted to add their Webcam URL to Travel Notes. I went to the site and the camera was down.
Good start, but it got me looking around.
Virtual Travel
Rather than illustrate another article with some of my photographs, I thought I'd let the pictures that no one takes be the feature of this 'travel article'.
Let's go on a virtual journey, live around the World; and if a picture says a thousand words, we'll let the webcams talk you to death.
It was a hard choice, because there are literally hundreds if not thousands of pictures being beamed through Cyberspace every few seconds.
Africam:
If you're lucky, you might get to see some African wildlife on Safari.
Antarctica Penguin Cam:
From October to April, observe a colony of Gentoo penguins from the O'Higgins German
Research Station on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Take a trip to Bethany Beach in Delaware without getting sand between your toes.

Land’s End, the signature vista of Cabo San Lucas, is a highlight of the beautiful
views seen from Casa Dorada, one of Cabo’s newest resorts.

This cam is live in Key West, Florida mounted under an anchored 40ft boat. A flood light

Poland, and if you can't then take a peek from your desk top.
