This isn't genealogy but it certainly helps maintain a "connection"
with the Azores.
I recently got an app for my iPhone called "iClimaat" (go to the app
store and look for it if you are interested). It gives you a choice of
looking at the weather cams on the various islands of the Azores. The
one for Horta shows an awesome view of Pico, across the channel. It's
interesting to see the different views during the day.
Of course, due to the time difference it's often night when I remember
to look! But you can still see the lights.
I visited the Climaat website at the University of the Azores ( http://www.climaat.angra.uac.pt/
) and found that you can get the same information-- and more--there
on your computer. There is a whole page of the weather cam pictures so
you can see them all at once and then click on the one you want to see
full size. (Can't provide the direct URL, just click around. Also
visit the "GALERIA DE FOTOS" (photo gallery).
I like the iPhone app because it's portable. I was really glad that I
could share a link to the pictures with others who can't get the
iPhone app.
I hope you enjoy!

PS In looking around the Climaat site I find there's the same problem
as at the CCA site--items not yet online. There was a link to
"historical climate data" with an image of a hand written page, but
the link didn't have any information, just a search function that
didn't work form me. It might be like the link on the CCA site to the
passports that aren't there yet. Maybe it means the data is there and
will be online at some point. Something to look forward to!
