I've always been fascinated with Manhattan - the tall buildings, the bright lights at night, the millions of people hustling and bustling about every day. There is always something to see and do there. I lived there for six months back in the mid-1980's and enjoyed it very much. My favorite time of year there is November and December. The people are friendlier, the Christmas decorations have been set up, there is a festive spirit in the air. I've been fortunate enough to have been able to go back back and visit the "Big Apple" several times in the past 20 years and all of the visits occurred just before Christmas.
Occasionally I get a hankering to see what's going in NYC, my favorite Web stop is the "Times Square Cam" site. There I have access to around 15 different Web cameras that offer a bird's eye view of the city and its people. Some of the cameras are remote controllable which means that I can move around to change views, some allow me to zoom in and out.
I'm inviting you to check out the site - you'll have a great time!
By the way, one time while my wife Susan and I were visiting NYC, we pinpointed the location of one of the Web cams and then called a friend back in New Mexico. We stood there on the sidewalk waving to the camera while Roy watched us from thousands of miles away. He also saved a copy of the picture for us for after we returned home.
