More About the Dramatic Theatre Webcam in Novokuznetsk
My previous post talked about two public webcams in Russia. Well, tonight I looked on Google Maps and found a satellite picture of one of the webcam locations! The webcam labeled Dramatic Theatre shows a pretty distinctive fountain and a garden-like area. It was easy to find it on Google Maps once I had found the city of Novokuznetsk.
Here is a picture from the webcam and another from the Google Maps satellite picture.
(Yeah, that building is definitely the Theatre. I just googled "Novokuznetsk drama theater" and got a Google Map with that building tagged, and a tourist site with a labeled picture of Drama Theatre.)
So, does this make me a virtual tourist, a cyberpunk traveller?
Now I just need to make contact with a web-savvy English-speaking resident of Novokuznetsk. It would be so cool to find a person who would go to that webcam location and communicate with me somehow, maybe by waving, drawing on the sidewalk, holding up a large poster, or sticking their head out a passing bus. Oh, or writing a message on the roof of their car! The speed the cars are moving, I would have about three seconds to see the message and take a screenshot. Maybe I can find a program that takes and saves rapid screenshots.
Ideally, I would find a person who speaks English and works at or near the Drama Theatre. I need to do some research on the city of Novokuznetsk, on the Drama Theatre, and on how easy it would be to find such a person.
