Confused

For the past few months, I’ve had the webcam at the Red Rocks Visitor Center as my desktop background with a script that automatically updated it every 5 minutes. It basically gave me a window into Red Rocks on my desk. Every now and then, I’d hit the little ‘Show Desktop’ button and just stare into the beautiful mountains and clouds and wish I was far away from my desk, and definitely not working.
A few days ago, however, the camera was moved — whether it was intentional or just bumped I’ll never know — and now focuses more on the new visitor’s center that’s being constructed than the lovely landscape behind it. Consequently, it lost much of its desktop appeal. So I switched back the desktop I’d had before: a panorama I’d taken in Calico Basin (just outside Red Rocks proper).
Just now, I caught a quick glimpse of my background, my window into Red Rocks.
HOLY CRAP IT’S BEAUTIFUL AT RED ROCKS RIGHT NOW!
For a second I briefly considered standing up and leaving work that instant. And then I remembered. 🙁
In addition to moving the camera, they also somehow completely screwed up the white balance and exposure. The ground now looks like snow, and everything is tinted blue. It’s a travesty.
The webcam’s showing me a construction site? Definitely not quite as appealing.
