Parks & Nature

Park and nature cams open a window onto calm landscapes without leaving the city. This category ranges from green spaces in Istanbul such as Büyük Çamlıca and Emirgan to Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone and Yosemite National Park, and on to the Namib Desert in Namibia and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Forests, deserts, savannahs and mountain plateaus all appear side by side here.

People watch these cams to follow the turning of the seasons, to check the scenery and conditions before a trip outdoors, or simply to take a few quiet minutes in the middle of a busy day. The images come from national park services, municipalities and conservation organisations; the picture may go dark at night and streams can pause during maintenance. If you are planning a hike or a picnic, check the live weather on the camera page as well.
