Lighthouse Webcams

Sometimes I'm stuck in the office working and get a hankering to see what's going on within the outside world. My colleagues at The Cape Cod Store.com have come up with a list, (this may be a partial list, if anyone out there knows of any more, please forward us the url), of lighthouse webcams. Many of these give an excellent view into the workings of harbors, etc., and provide a little distraction from the sometimes hectic world all of us live in.



*NOTE~~Most webcams require either Quick Time player, Flash, Java, or REAL Player
