Hi

To the Editor: Is it possible to modify the camera broadcast to allow expanding its size to better display the wonderful views of Santa Fe? Thanks. JD Gordon

We can check into it.

We just missed the Spanish Market by a week but we had a great time any way. Miss you all (family) and Santa Fe!

The Montoya's in Menlo Park, CA

Wow - I love watching all the preparation for Spanish Market this weekend. It's great to see the movement and the action instead of still pictures. I take a look most every day to see how things are going downtown. It's wonderful to be living in such a beautiful city!

Was able to watch the sunrise this morning over Santa Fe via this webcam, and it was BEAUTIFUL!

There are several angles of the Plaza, you just have to have a little patience. It takes about 5 minutes for the camera to cycle completely through all the angles, but the Plaza is definitely included!! And lots of different angles of it too.

Don't need to change a thing, in my opinon. Except maybe add some local music in the background :-)

Please show us the Plaza again as we use it for determining times to visit and as a tourist attraction for friends and relatives.

The new camera is interesting but i REALLY miss seeing the portal and the tourists walking around. Please include a shot of the portal like you had it when the camera was static - thanks

Thank you for the webcam shots.  I love Santa Fe and this is an excellent way to see it.

The new robotic camera is great! The different viewpoints and live views even at night now - wow - impressed! Thank you SantaFeHotels.com...this is definitely a good marketing tool for tourism - I'm ready to book right now !

Sirs: Thak you for your enhanced Plaza web cam with its multiple views. Some sites with pictures allow a double mouse click to expand the picture to full screen. Is this something that could somehow be done with your views of Santa Fe? It would be fabulous if that were possible. Thanks for looking into that. J. Dell Gordon

Thank you for the new webcam, it's great to see the city and mountains, again!

Thanks to Santa Fe Hotels for expanding the live web views. I now send the link to out-of-state friends who have not been here to entice them to visit our city.

Miss you so much from Barcelona, Spain, 10:13 a.m.

Just one comment...Thank You!
Looks like my internet time will grow as I gaze with nostalgic eyes at a city that I always enjoy.

It truly is "The Land of Enchantment"

I Love The New Webcam too Can't wait to go back to New Mexico .

Wish I was there instead of The BayArea in California : (

Thank you for the Mini Vacation,

With Love,

GREAT JOB ON THE NEW CAM. MAKES ME MISS HOME EVEN MORE.

What am I doing wrong? I just get a black box instead of the Plaza. It is now 9:15 a.m. your time, and surely the camera should be operational by now.

I really enjoy the web cam. I wish I could put it in the corner of my screen so I can glance at it through the day as I'm working. It's like a pleasant mini-break in a hum drum day at work.

"WOW" is an understatement!

This is truly fantastic! My hat's off to the people (SantaFeHotels.com) that had this vision and made it a reality! The views are great, and anyone who takes the time to check this out, will be booking their flights - a "MUST SEE"! Great job... this is a surefire way to attract visitors to our beautiful city - how could they resist?

Ms Heidt,

Thanks for your kind comments about the new cam. I know the cam operators appreciate it, and would also appreciate any constructive ideas of how to make things better.

I love the new Web Cam. I so miss Santa Fe and these pictures now are making me miss it more. Thanks for this.

Lee: why do you think it's ok to tell another poster when she can or can not post or when she should "move on"? 

lee: it is a posting site, that is what people are SUPPOSED to do POST!

Lee, anybody can write and post and jump in any time they want, so why do you say I monopolize?  Tell the truth.  It's because you can't stand me, huh?  C'mon Lee, at least be honest enough and just say it.

Thanks, PC, that was very observant of you!

PC,

Is there ANYTHING you don't post on. The entire comments section is monopolized by you! say your piece and move on.

Wow, check out the new Web Cam!

To all the great folks there at Santa Fe. Best way to get me home sick. Thanks

Wonderful news. Thank you.

From what I am told a new camera is being installed, that will add new features and a better experience for everyone. That is why the still image is up now.

I love the webcam and check it out daily. I has been broken for days. Somebody get a ladder! Alison Reider Lake Forest, IL

Looks like the camera has fried. Anyone out there checking?

El Paso and Santa Fe

Doesn't anyone else miss being able to look at even just the little bit of Santa Fe that we see via the Web Cam?
Is the camera broken? Is it being fixed? Why are we seemingly stuck forever on May 30?
Jessie Farrington
West Lafayette, IN

Wow!

Just wondering why some days it takes hours for the Webcam to start showing views of the current day?

Is it just me...or... isnt there about 100 better angles of Santa Fe?

Is the web cam broken again?

Why?

Hey Mervin, I am also from El Paso.  Any relation to Jerry? 

The web cam is a wonderful to see, from El Paso, how things look in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, the picture quality has degraded significantly since the last time I checked-in.

Without the flags flying over the Palace, it is hard to tell whether the wind is blowing or not.

Thank you.

Hello Beautiful Santa Fe! We'll be back to visit sooner than later...

Eldon, it is nice, but now that the snow is gone, the city is reminded that it will cost more to fix all the potholes and parking lots than it would have cost to remove the snow promptly in the first place.

Look at that snow-free and dry Plaza!  I tell ya....now that's what I'm talking about!

What's going on with all of the police cars in the plaza?

i was wondering why the plaza was deserted.

Santa Fe, you look beautiful. It is 56 degrees here in R.I. rain and 100% humidity. I sure do miss Santa Fe, the beautiful blue skies and the clean air. I will be back someday.

Happy New Year Santa Fe.. Enjoy that wonderful moisture.

Would you all believe I just deleted my own post so that the web editor will pay attention to my blog request??? Sheesh.

Web Editor,

I am considering having my own web blog hosted by the www.freenewmexican.com in order to discuss the "Jesus Tomb" and other related topics, such as the lost gospels, some fiction works loosely based on gospels, and a certain other work called, "Don't Know Much About the Bible".

If I do have such a blog, will the posts appear in the recent comments section so that interested parties can contribute? And what rules will be used to guide posters? Can people speak their minds freely or are they allowed to have a delete-fest which has been occurring for little or no reason on this website.

Ideally, I want contributor's comments to appear in the recent comments section, and for people to be able to speak their mind unless it is really, really distasteful, insulting or demeaning to another.

Hi,
 thanks for posting it here ( I would have moved it, but there's currently not a way to shuffle posts around). This is a little more detailed than I can answer instantaneously, so let me email you later today. I *will*get back to you.
