If art’s your kind of thing, this is the cam for you. Involving the restoration of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre’s diorama in the Church of Bry-Sur-Marne, France, this is one of the more intriguing cams I’ve ever come across.

In case you were wondering, it is the same guy that helped refine the process of what would become the Daguerrotype. You know, one of the very foundations that photography burst forth from. That fact alone gives this cam two thumbs up in the “must see” department.

This view of Grenoble in southeast France is great day or night. By day, the hustle and bustle of a large part of the city is visible, and by night it resembles something of an electric extravaganza due to city lights saturating the Axis 221’s IR lens. View it here, and be sure to switch to “Motion JPEG” for a quick view.
