The Travel the World by Webcam thread.

[borolad259]

We're locked down ... and, at the very least, it will be a few months before we can actually travel anywhere. So, I thought, let's have a thread for great webcam views of the world. Let's keep it to live, realtime video webcams that are decent quality (though, if the view is interesting, smaller pixel counts are ok). Not only do we get a bit of armchair travel, we can also see how different countries look under various levels of restriction.
I'll start with a few of my favourites.

And Sagrada Familia (imagine being locked into some of those apartments for 6 weeks)

This one isn't such great quality but it's a window onto Arvidsjaur, my nearest large town in Northern Sweden. They do have social distancing and older schoolkids are off at the moment, but life is going on (covid 19 has reached this remote part of Europe).

Iceland. Jokulsarlon. A lagoon with melting glacial ice.

Great idea sir.

So to reflect these different times here is the live cam of the Shibuya street crossing the worlds busiest pedestrian crossing. Normally.
