Pervert-Cam
When the NPS installed a web-based camera within the boundary of my study area and distributed the URL, I posted it on my Box turtle web site so web visitors to could see the area in which I work, in real time.

Within hours of my web site update, I received emails criticizing the web-cam feed, and asking what kind of perverts I work for.  Clearly I should have viewed the Park's web-cam page before posting their link to my own research site.  I apologize for this oversite.

I DO NOT WORK FOR THE PERVERTS WHO INSTALLED AND MAINTAIN  THIS WEB-CAM !
The photo of the view that was proposed and submitted for approval of the camera's installation, is below.  A view of the countryside and mountains:  colorful in the fall,  blanketed in white during the winter,  and green in the spring.
Instead, the camera, hidden in the law enforcement office and peering through the mini-blinds of the window, is spying onto several public picnic tables used by park visitors, their children and their families, all photos being captured for later web viewing, as well as being STREAMED LIVE to the web.

Friends (and perverts) of the Blue Ridge Parkway supplied the funds for the pervert-cams, and the NPS Blue Ridge Parkway park management (pervert staff) approved the installation inside a government building.
