There is a live street cam in Aki:

You should pick a convenient day time for you and not too inconvenient for us & be there. Wave to everyone on QQ. Or maybe do a Silly Walk across the intersection!:ROFLMAO:
:love:
Thanks for the linky Sdubya, I'm takin' a London tour bus ride ๐ŸšŒ
I told Mrs. Pupster- "see, we can now travel the world, all in the comfort of our living room chairs!" ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ:ROFLMAO:

That's a good one! And I like the audio too. Live webcams like this are fun to visit every now & then, allowing for time differences. One of these is the Abbey Road intersection by the recording studio:

And Google street view lets you pan around & explore close up. Another fave of mine is a live cam inside a bento store in Tokyo. At a busy time, WOW! Talk about some prime people watching!
 
Thankfully, it's good to know that drones are useful for more than spy missions as these gorgeous photographs attest to:

Here are some outlandish snow pics from our recent skiing trip to Lake Tahoe.


1) Carson Pass: Normally, you can see over that guardrail at the expanse of the valley. We were literally driving in a trench. Access to Kirkwood ski resort was closed for five days from both directions.

2) Dipper Express lift at Heavenly: It took them five days to dig out this lift. We had to ski down into that trench where those men are standing to get on the chair.

3) Kirkwood cafeteria: The approach is from the right of the entrance. If you don't know where to find it, you may just as well never find it!

4) Restrooms at Kirkwood: Dialogue between my wife and me:
AR: "I thought the restrooms were near the corner of the cream colored building."
Mrs AR: "We usually ski down to it. I think it's buried."
AR: "Maybe the people on the third floor will let us climb through the window to use their toilet." ;)

5) Finally, my favorite: the lodge at the top of Northstar:
