White House

This live White House camera faces one of the best known buildings in Washington, DC, the official residence and workplace of the president of the United States. The shot usually includes the front facade, the lawn, fencing, trees and part of the government area around it, giving a steady look at a landmark that is instantly recognizable. The scene changes throughout the day with weather, passing clouds and the angle of the light. In clearer conditions, the background can also reveal part of the Washington skyline and the outline of the Washington Monument. After dark, the illuminated facade, the garden area and the scattered city lights create a quieter and more dramatic view than the one seen in daylight.
