I’ll take one somewhere else more sensitive if it meant immunity

They seem to have removed the archives? I can only see stuff on panodata1?

I've been trying to look at old images and created a page based on the camera map you had and only some are available. Here's the page:

I was hoping to have it grab from the right database - so if anyone has an update on where the gap images are let me know and I can update this.

Cheers!

I might add the ability to scroll through minutes/hours/days.

Also if you think of anything else to add let me know.

i wonder how much work it would be to display the playlist and that selects the day/ time.

Is there an easily accessible resource for the playlist with the time/date on? It'd just be the pyramid sets.

If not then I can grab them from various archives - next weekend is wet and horrible - ideal time to write some code....

I've now updated it to include the sets from these years - I've had a quick test and it seems to work.

One thing is the image view - I've added in a pan+zoom which is both useful and irritating - let me know if I should:

- keep it
- bin it and display the image full size
- bin it and display the image to fit the window

Oh, and let me know if it's broken for you and if there's anything else.

I guess I could add in a list of significant events - like fence going up, pyramid all in red, etc. But I'd need people to let me know those dates/times.

Awesome work @hfuhruhurr!  

All the sets I tried worked perfectly! Only issue I had (which may be my end) was when zooming in the image tended to disappear off the top of the screen. A bit fiddly but I managed to solve it as you can click and drag the image back down before zooming in futher. Hope this makes sense

Yeah - I'm in two minds (being hfuhruhurr!) about the zoom thing. I'll be guided by others on what to do with it.

It's a tough one.  On one hand, it's great being able to have the image and the controls on the same page, plus it's good to have more control over the zoom level that you get when viewing a raw image in the browser. 

Yet, it's a bit fiddly at the moment.  I'm not sure how to improve it, but it feels like something could be done without throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Maybe limit where it can be panned to, or cap the zoom level?

[stuartbert two hats]

And the other changes are great!

Good idea - I'll have a gander at that and see what I can do.

The takeaway is - there are more plusses that minuses about your current implementation vs the old one, even ignoring the set time stuff (which is all good!)

Four years ago today @Dukeiconwas the first to spot some painting going on in front of the Pyramid.

If 2020 couldn't get any worse, the webcam stopped working at 06:50 this morning (although, not a bad image to stop on).

Thanks for heads up, I’ve missed my daily (and sometimes more than hourly!) fix gazing at the sight and watching the cows, occasional tractor and the beautiful sight of the pyramid skeleton 👍.

If anyone is wondering about the smoke coming from near the woods....

 

It's this....

Grabbed a few stills from the web-cam this morning too. It was spectacular.

Magnificent views across the vale of Avalon again this morning. There is something about that low angle morning sun light on days like these that is utterly unique.  Looks better than in June in many ways on these rare clear, still winter days.

Webcam is frozen again. Have sent a tweet to try and get it restarted!
