       The lighthouse in the background is the Craighill Rear Range Light.

The camera is pointing almost due East toward Tolchester Beach on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

                                                   The image updates automatically every thirty seconds

From Dusk to Dawn the image will be very poor to no image at all.

{Occasionally a blank image will appear this is a software bug, in which I regret have no control over.  New versions of WebCam32 I understand will correct this.}

  The camera is a 24 Volt AC Panasonic Color CCTV Model WV-CP234 with a Auto Iris Vari- Focal Lens enclosed in a Pelco weather tight enclosure and mounting hardware.  The software is a registered version of WebCam32.

This web site is dedicated to my father who had a lot of love and respect for the weather, and would be astonished with the way we can communicate the weather through the Internet today.
