The history of Tel Aviv and the creation of White City with it's International Style architecture is not evident in this webcam shot. The scene looks like just a bunch of ordinary beach properties close to the Mediterranean. Too bad. This is a special location with plenty of history. (please read the wikipedia article). I love the high elevation of this webcam and the view to the Mediterranean Sea. Please take the time to look closely at the structures below. To appreciate this webcam and the views please visit at different times go the day as the sunlight angle changes. Two webcam requests: wider angle camera and a faster update rate.

Big Sur is a beautiful region between Monterey, CA and Los Angeles. This webcam is at the Nepenthe Restaurant on the Pacific Coast Highway. Nepenthe This area of California is surprisingly secluded considering that it is right on the coast of Central California. My main suggestion for this webcam is that more than one camera be installed at this location and that the update rate be increased to once every 15 seconds. :-)
The University of Wisconsin- Madison has many beautiful places to walk and study. One of the most beautiful is the view of Lake Mendota from on top of Observatory Hill. This location is near most of the main campus buildings. The webcam view is great. My major criticism of this particular cam is that it is down from time to time. Also, it seems like a waste to only have one camera operating in only one orientation from this vantage point. Lastly, an HD webcam would be a nice upgrade here.
Lake Mendota looks beautiful on this windy fall day (watch the trees sway). Notice that most of the leaves have fallen off of the trees. One week ago the leaves were on the trees but the high winds probably blew them away in the past week. :-)
This is the afternoon view of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Notice the flag of Greece waving on the summit. The Cradle of Civilization. This site has a great view of the Acropolis with a partial view of the Parthenon. There are other webcams with a better view of the Parthenon ( Parthenon Live ) but this webcam is just about the closest. My main criticism of this cam is that too much of the scene is taken up by the street view ( unless the purpose is to show how the Acropolis is right next to the homes of the common Athenian). On the other hand, it *is* interesting to see how something as important to Civilization as the Acropolis is just another park in an urban area on this planet. It also conveys to me that ancient Greeks were just like people today. (sort of) :-)

Great View but please *Clean the Lens!!*. It wasn't clear where this camera is located so I took a guess where it is located on the map. One thing that is striking is how new the construction is in Sydney. A beautiful city as seen by the available webcams. :-)
Comment and Review: This webcam has a great location, elevation and lighting. I suggest that the updates be done more quickly than 20 minutes. The beach seems safe (aside from animals in the water(?)). The beach is right next to the Honolulu zoo as seen on the map. :-)
