Here's a comparison between Torquay and Hua Hin:

Yes, it's interesting purely from a financial viewpoint but before we all move there, here is a webcam of Torquay sea front at the moment:

Is that a black & white feed, or does it really look that grey?

I presume there is a considerable delay as it's nearly 11.00 and many of the cars have got their headlights on!

Lots of new cars in the UK now have daytime running lights which you can't turn off but it still looks grim in London, just how I remember dear old Blighty; grey, wet and cold.

...but before we do (drum roll...)

maybe we can start a "Webcam" thread and populate with places from around the world. I personally find them very interesting no matter where.

Is Torquay the place where Faulty Towers was (supposed to be)? It sounds familiar...

Yes, but I believe actually filmed in Nottingham.

Torquay is actually a nice enough small English seaside resort but unfortunately the South West of England sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean and suffers from miserable weather for much of the year. I spent some years based out of that part of the world when I was in the Navy, both in Devon and Cornwall.
They even have a name for a type of weather that they don't seem to have much anywhere else, it's called "mizzle" and is a cross between mist and drizzle which only occurs twice a year and lasts for about six months.

Someone mentioned in the Web cams of the UK thread that we should have a "of the World" thread, so here goes!

This is just outside of my little city here in northern Norway. The winter arrived suddenly yesterday with up to 20 cm of snow...

Here is another from my around my city. Both this one and the one above are images that are taken and updated based on individual schedules.

For more web cams from Norway look here...

Here's one to keep you busy. Besides the beaches, the volcano and observatories are good.
