I call it the 'Ham Cam, but it’s really the [Bellingham Bay Cam](http://www.bellcold.com/bhambaycam.html).

Also: [Peace Arch Cam](http://www.borderlineups.com/webcams.php?CamID=4) and [Pacific Highway Cam](http://www.borderlineups.com/webcams.php?CamID=7).

If you click on the Time Lapse link and scroll down to Webster City and watch the 9-11 a.m. video, you can see a crowd of people. It’s Webster City’s 150th birthday and there was a parade this morning.

The Köln Dom camera is [here](http://www.wdr.de/themen/global/webcams/domcam.jhtml).

However, the closest camera to my home is [here](http://www.westland.net/piercam/). Doesn’t it look warm and sunny? It makes me wish I was there.
