Zugspitze Summit View, towards Alpspitze, site of the Alpspix viewing tower

Summit of the Zugspitze, towards Alpspitze, site of the Alpspix viewing tower

One of the more popular ski resorts in the alpine region on Bavaria, the Zugsptize and Alpspitze mountains have been enhanced by a new attraction.

Visitors can enjoy a mountain experience with a difference from the observation deck AlpspiX. At the foot of Alpspitze steel arms extend both in the form of an "X" 13 meter free-floating over the abyss - once prone and once down the sky towards the direction of the Zugspitze.

There is a series of webcam views of the area, allowing remote viewing of this dramatic scene.

Sarasota Bay and downtown Sarasota, Florida from Siesta Key

At a time when many are growing concerned that tourism numbers to Florida, and the coastal areas in particular, will be severely affected by the oils slick form the ongoing spill in the Gulf of Mexico, My World Webcams brings a live webcam feed directly form the coast at Sarasota Bay:

The view from Siesta Key, one of the famous Florida Keys, shows a tranquil and peaceful scene, with no sign of the tar balls that have been appearing elsewhere. In fact, local tourism officials have been quick to point out that this area had been largely unaffected, and hope that visitors will continue to arrive in large numbers, as the local bars and restaurants of the tourist industry are heavily dependent on their arrival.
