CGC Alder Making Tracks


Nature is quickly making CGC Alder's job much easier. The harbor ice is quickly breaking up and the ice on Lake Superior is shrinking rapidly.  I even let my chickens out in the yard this afternoon.

Camera Upgrade Wednesday


FYI,
This coming Wednesday, I will be replacing the Canal Cam with the new one that we raised funds for last December.  The image will be clearer with better dynamic range.

I will also be moving the camera mic into a better location to hear the announcements.

With any luck, it will be the best cam on the Great Lakes.

That said,  there will be a several hour outage while I make the changes.

Once again, thanks to everyone who donated to these projects.

Camera News - Pier B Camera Off for awhile


The new Pier B complex is now under construction which has cut off access to the PierB camera for the time being. Once I can access the camera, we should get it back. It may be awhile however.

Although it isn't the same, I have put the Pier B Costruction Cam in it's place for now.


Superior Sunrise


Springtime is starting break in the Northland. As you can see from this mornings sunrise on the Canal Cam,  the sunrise azimuth is quickly moving North on the Lake Superior horizon.
