Did you know that there is a webcam situated near the lake in Nyon enabling you to watch the sun rise (if it's a clear day!) and to see a great bird's eye view of the old town from your computer? These two screen shots were taken around 08:40 on the 16th November from the Nyon webcam.
This webcam was put in place thanks to the support of l'Office de Tourisme Vaudois, La Ville de Nyon and Régionyon.
Morges also has a webcam situated near the harbour, this screen shot below was taken just a few minutes after the Nyon image.
Much further afield, here is a shot from the webcam at the Top of Europe webcam at the Jungfraujoch
Many other towns, ski resorts and villages have webcams, check to see if there is one in your area!
