Pyramid Cam
July 17, 2008
Hey, gang.
Short and sweet post today. I'm working at home getting ready for the mother of all yard sales. Please pray for me ;-).
What a way to start the day! How about a live web cam view of the pyramids at Giza?
Today's FamilyFirst pick offers you just that. It's the Pyramid Cam!
Check out the beautiful sunsets section. A sunset behind the pyramids, a sight savored by Pharaohs thousands of years ago, equally spectacular today.
Here's the poop on the cam:
The camera is located at the SIAG Pyramids Hotel in Giza, about 1.5 kilometers ENE of the Pyramids Plateau. It is placed at the highest point in the area and is over 200 feet above street level. This affords us the best possible view of the Pyramids looking from east to west into the sunset. If we were any closer, it would be difficult to take in the entire plateau in one image. If we were farther away, images would be degraded as a result of the intervening haze.
It's mega-cool! Enjoy...
