Halifax Sunset
The sun sets in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Good Magazine points us to EternalSunset.com:

The website Eternal Sunset uses 272 west-facing webcams in over 50 countries to show a live sunset 24 hours a day. Right now, for example, we’re checking out the pastel hues over the water in Valle Gran Rey, Spain.

The site refreshes every minute or so to view the sunset from a different angle, a different locale. Good’s only recommendation:

Now all we need is a never-ending bottle of merlot and a loop of Marvin Gaye.

Indeed.

Cool concept. Too bad the images are so grainy. Sunsets don’t look so sunsety when they get the crap pixelated out of them.

Good point, Mark.

I guess it highlights the fact that web cams still have a way to go.
