Ever wonder what it would be like to be a lobster, caught in a trap? Now you can see for yourself. For the last two weeks, an underwater webcam in a lobster trap in Halifax harbour has been streaming live. Walt has been so busy watching that he's hardly had time to write!
The website was created by Ralf Pickart. (He has trained his dog to call him by name -- "Ralf! Ralf!") "People see a perspective they never experienced before and they are not able to experience," Pickart told the CBC yesterday. "Nobody is diving for a lobster trap and watching it for several hours."
The webcam is one of 43 across Nova Scotia on Pickart's website, and the lobster cam is by far the most popular. "I expected that people would like it, it was one of our expectations, but I never expected 14,000 hits just on the first day," Pickart said.
