Smoke gets in My Eyes

Well of course there would be news on flooding in the upper Saint John River after I posted yesterday. I stand by what I said. Unless it rains or the ice dams the upper river we have perfect conditions for getting rid of all this snow.

And as a perfect counterpoint to my post yesterday the Fred E-zone camera on the river has gone down. The only time of the year that the camera shows anything more interesting than people not picking up after their dogs and the camera turns off. Go figure. At least the parking lot camera in Officers Square is still up but gives a much less informative view of the river.

I also noticed last night that MRDC camera caught images that prove that the good citizens of Coytown - Gagetown like to burn their grass.

Finally, it would appear that the person in charge of the webcamera in Beaver Harbour is trying to decide on a new view for the camera. All winter it was a standard panorama view like this:

If you look closely all the following views are either parts or extensions of this view. For a while it moved to the extreme left and focused on a side road (where once again we see New Brunswickers like to burn their dead grass). Then our intrepid camera operator decided to explore a number of options with it appearing that the decision was finally made to focus on a small section of the panorama that highlighted the harbour itself.

I would note that this last change seems to suggest a change in the location of the camera not just the focus of the frame. Interesting choices.

I have pretty much given up on the Forestry Center camera in Fredericton. The camera covering has become so stained and discoloured that the view is always ugly and we can all live without ugly.
