The World at Your Fingertips

Posted on Jun 23, 2008 8:20 AM

It is amazing that the world doesn't have to be so distant. This morning instead of the normal early morning walk with my dog, who preferred to play with the two cats most of the night is sleeping.

So, this morning was spent in part doing the regular mom things and then looking up live webcam of places I'd heard about.

One place I visited was Yellowstone National Park and saw one of the geysers erupt. I also learned that this park is on one of the world's largest volcanoes. It would be interesting to see one of these geysers erupt in the middle of the night. I wonder if any sparks of lava are thrown out at night?

Just think, you are watching the earth breathe and letting off some steam.

When you view the old webcam streams of the geysers you'll notice that the camera moves up and down. They have moved the camera further away now. So will the camera move up and down or side to side when more than one geyser erupts? I'll take a look at different times of the day and maybe I'll see it happen.

It looks so awesome even beauty can be deceiving.
