LOOK WHAT FINNY/MISH FOUND

I found a new folder of old cam images just now... and it contains images from the Hluhluwe game drive cam of a brush fire.






















And a couple more... this was the one time I managed to see something on the whale cam... lol...









This one was at Sabi Sabi (or Sabi Sands.. wish I could remember.. sigh) and this rhino decided that it did not like those lions being where they were... I use to have a whole series of this encounter... alas not any more.







And last but not least a spectacular shot of a lilac breasted roller at the Orpen cam.. which is still on line.. when it's working.. at http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/webcams/orpen.php .. well sort of ... it looks like it's been off line now for 2 months.
Cheers, Mish
Thanks for these. The group of the brush fire are great. Hopefully all was well when it was over. And not too many were lost.
Until the next time HAPPY VIEWING !!

LIONS, LIONS, AND MORE LIONS


Thought I'd send a few more 'Blast From The Past' cam images... have loads of lions so here are a bunch. All of them are from the old game drive cam that was on the original http://www.africam.com/ Again, I don't know if they still retain rights to those images. The game drive was at Djuma Game Reserve http://www.djuma.com/


Cheers, Finny








Ahem, you have that light right in my eyes!

Thanks for these Finny.
Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Saw the old pics from the cams and thought.. aha.. I've got some stashed away ... somewhere... After going through a gazillion disks I finally found what I was looking for.

I saved images from the old Africam... before it went belly up the first time... from Orpen, Sabi Sands (or might have been Sabi Sabi), Bakubung, Satara, Kwa and a variety of the Djuma cams (mobile, Vuyatela, the original very first cam at the Djuma 'crib', and Gowrie Pan)

There are lions, leopards, cheetahs, ellies, rhinos, waterbuck, civets, genets, hyenas (with cubs), nyala, kudu, hippos, buffalo, zebra, impala, wildebeest (including THE one, THE only, THE original Waldo at Satara), warthogs, giraffe, baboon, duiker, scrub hare, kingfisher and tree squirrels.

Including a couple of here from the old Kwa PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cam... I sure wish they'd get it back.. sigh... and Satara, the mobile cam, and Bakubung

If you want any others, I would be glad to oblige and send them. The only thing I worry about is who to credit... At the time I saved these pics... in 1999... all the cams were on the old Africam website... I don't know if the current Africam can still claim the rights to them... but you would probably be safe in crediting them to "The old (original) Africam... and Djuma http://www.djuma.com/

If you would like any more... just give me a holler... lol... How I long for the old days when you could go to one site and see so many cams... did you know at the old Africam they had a shark cam (very short lived due to the technical difficulties that kept cropping up).. a whale cam (down at the Cape in SA).. they also had a cam from South America.. I think it was marmosets at a rescue place... there were cams everywhere.. and let's not forget they had streaming video (as well as 30 second still refresh) at two... or was it three places.. in Etosha.. just super. I had better stop here... lol...


Cheers, Finny

Sure wish I was around for these. For those of you that were around in 1999, this is a stroll down memory lane. For us newbies, a glimpse of what we missed in the past. Thanks so much Finny for passing these along.
Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!
