Screen shots

Postby free7er on Fri Mar 16, 2012 5:01 pm

I haven't posted at all this year, but have read most of the posts. I wanted to show you a screen shot of Cim Smyth - think it was 2010, not sure. See how much clearer it is? I have other shots that are nice, like Billy Snodgrass, Robert Nelson, Ellen, Heather S, Justin & Gerald (or one of Justin & Billy - just not sure which one it is - didn't take the time to go research the bib #'s).
I miss the web cam with the pink shingles. Does anybody know what happened to it? It might of been mentioned elsewhere, but I didn't see it.

That webcam was active year-round for at leat two years, first with one sponsor and then with another. I used to play with the controls during the off-months, to watch the townsfolk out and about.

But it's been dead for months now, and I haven't seen any indication of the reason. Could be many things -- the building owner may have withdrawn permission, or perhaps no one was willing to fund it.

I believe the pink shingle camera was supported by Pete Kaiser last year. I read on their site they were getting ready to turn it on but it would be "locked" --not facing the shingles. I have not seen any shots so I don't think it was turned on after all. Check their website.

I just looked at some of the insider video of finishes, and froze it as the red shingle house came into view. There is no camera on there at all now.
