(Today it’s about The Symi Visitor Webcam – this from the chap who looks after it:)
The webcam on the offices of Symi Visitor continues to click away taking a new picture of the harbour every minute twenty four hours a day all year round: http://www.symivisitor.com/webcam.shtml
Being a bit of a geek with time on my hands I’ve persuaded a computer to grab these pictures, produce a daily video from them and upload it to YouTube. The program has been running more or less continuously since early June (which is something of a miracle given my limited programming
abilities) and the videos can be seen on YouTube at: https://goo.gl/BkR5Eb
Early videos were fairly poor resolution but after changing the program at the start of November they look a lot better. Each video lasts about a minute and a half covering thirteen hours of harbour life from seven in the morning until eight at night although these times could change.
If you want to pick a sample video to watch I recommend you try one from a Wednesday when the Blue Star Diagoras docks twice. It’s an amazing sight.
Here’s an example:
