Cameras

Look across the woods through the cameras, then follow a place through its saved photographs.

Under each picture is the day it was taken and, where the camera records it, the hour. The 53 cameras checked every day come first, the forest and park views before the river gauges; the rest of the region follows, and the cameras beyond it close the page. Where a camera has no saved picture here, its link opens the camera’s page or its latest image; even where one is saved, the camera’s page usually shows something newer.
