What's it like near your house? What's the closest webcam to you?

I think my nearest is the webcam on the M11 motorway at Chigwell. The dome on the right is the David Lloyd Sports Club, which is about a mile and a half from me.

I'm about a mile coming towards you when you look at this picture.

Here's downtown - about, um, three miles away? The zooming around is making me dizzy. This is the pretty one - near Shining Rock, about 15 - 20 miles from me.

This one is 1/2 a mile across the river from me.

The closest one I know of is in Great Smoky Mountains National Park facing east from Look Rock, which is about four and a half miles from Chez Ant.

For some reason all of the webcams near me have have naked girls on them.

Mine. If it's light enough, you can see the start of a hill to the left side of the cam. If you keep going along the base of that hill (Glenn Mountain) about a quarter mile, we're at the foot of it. The cam is about 3 miles from where we live.

I'm kinda behind the last building on the right

There seems to be nothing closer than Cambridge, which is 20 miles. Odd.

Ball State University campus. About 7 miles south of me.

The BSU page doesn't appear to reload too often, though.

I like this webcam of the Vismarkt in Utrecht (old city centre along Oudegracht canal).
