Not sure what sort of kit you all use, since I stopped commuting to the City every day I abandoned the laptop and now use a desktop with the biggest screen I could buy, when these images, the live feed, are full screen they are really spectacular. I wonder if they could be fed to a smart TV with the giant screen size?

after much fiddling here is a real view of what you would see if the crowsnest camera were connected to the internet; apologies for my lack of skill in joining it all together. These are extracts from the live feed at different times as you will see from the clock.
There is no substitute for the moving picture, even if it’s only the water, birds and flags that demonstrate this, ships have a soul, and the camera proves it.
I hope you like it. I thought the music somehow rather suitable.

Best viewed on full screen.

tell me what you think.

trying to get a handle on when the IWM might ease its furlough regime but the way things are this is likely to be sometime late next month...just a guess. right now there is no one I can identify to light the fuse for connecting this in real time.
