This is a view of the Newport Pier, located on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, CA. This camera is hosted by my buddy Matty and is located on the roof of my old apartment on 17th street. The camera faces southwest, but it has been known to move a bit with a good wind (on Christmas day 1999, the camera actually blew off the roof, this was the picture it took). In the middle of the picture is the 19th st. lifeguard tower and the surfbreak behind it called 'Secrets' (it isn't much of a secret). The break to the left of the picture is called 'The Point' (it isn't much of a point). Over the course of a year, sunset moves horizontally across the length of the pier signaling the change of season. The summer sun sets to the right of the picture, the winter sun sets to the left, and during spring and fall, the sunset lands right in the middle.

This picture is taken by a camera located on West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, the camera is mounted on a automatic pan/tilt head that provides a 180 degree view. The Wharf ("Don't call me a pier!") is a 3000 foot, dog leg right that has stood, in one incarnation or another, for 80 years. The wharf supports a variety of businesses and restaurants as well as a healthy population of California Sea Lions ("Don't call us seals!"). Between the camera and the wharf is one of the best spots to learn to surf this side of Waikiki. The low-tide surf at Cowells is soft and forgiving on all but the biggest swells and rides can be long and fun if you don't mind a crowd. If Cowells is too slow for you, the pace gets a little more hectic just around the corner at Steamer Lane. Nature lovers note: Once a month, on an evening right around the full moon, you can watch the moonrise directly over the pier. You have to be quick though, it only happens on one day and it only stays in frame for about 20 minutes. Something for everyone, just like Santa Cruz.

This is another view of the West Coast. This camera, located 37,000 miles above California is run by another Walker, John Walker, who works at the Fourmilab in Switzerland. John writes all kinds of cool software, most of which is way beyond my comprehension. Although he is a genius, and I am simply...well, simple, we share a love for nature and the universe that surrounds us. John and the F-LAB folks have been nice enough to allow requests to Formulab's server. The result of those requests are these images, a real-time view from above. If you have the inclination, stop by the Fourmilab site and download their super cool screen saver, or any of the other fun stuff they have available. John, if you are reading this, I'd like to say thanks for the view!

Welcome to the Live Camera Page! This webpage is the electronic descendant of the somewhat famous WalkCam Page that has graced this space for nearly 12 years. The current incarnation of the webpage uses StarDot's webcams to allow virtual tourists to check the action in Newport Beach (my former home) and Santa Cruz (my current home), or both from high above. If you are curious and want to learn more, please start with the F.A.Q., a virtual clearinghouse of information about the cameras and the WalkNet site. In the F.A.Q., you will find everything you would ever want to know about the author and the history of the other cameras that were part of the original WalkCam Page. In the Archives, you will find pictures that have been taken by those cameras. If you would like to make your visit more permanent, please take a minute to sign the brand-new Guestbook. If you have any other reason to contact me (old girlfriends, pending litagation, unclaimed money, etc), please drop me a spam-free email here. In any case, thanks for visiting and enjoy the views.
