Here is the grainy webcam that is closest to me.  The camera turns around,
sometimes showing a view of Lake Michigan, and sometimes a rather
uninteresting street:

This website has higher resolution webcams:
http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/webcams/

GLERL is the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratories.  There are
4 different views of the Muskegon channel and piers, as well as a webcam
looking at Chicago, one in Alpena, Michigan, and another in Toledo, Ohio.

Still cold, still snowy, but I saw the very tips of some daffodil leaves on
the south side of the house!

Hi, this is the URL for my local area, they are fairly selective in the photos 
they show, but I imagine every guide/tourist site is the same in presenting the 
best to the world. It's actually very pretty outside just now as we have a few 
inches of snow, very lacey on the trees but melting fast.

Jolly good idea !


 I thought that Heathers idea to let the rest of us see a bit of where she
 lives was a good idea, so I have put this web site up for anyone
interested to
 see where I live also.

I found it fascinating to see the Geelong website; and I was most intrigued
by the National Wool Museum, which I'd love to be able to visit someday.

Here's a link to our local High Wycombe website:-
http://www.wycombe.gov.uk/tourism/
Not great, I admit, but it's the best we have.
There are some interesting things and a few more pictures to be found if
you're patient enough to explore through the links that follow
Attractions, Countryside, Local History, and Museums.

And here's a slightly better website about Buckinghamshire:-
http://www.visitbuckinghamshire.org/
with a few more pictures, and a good page if you follow the link to
Main Towns.

Best wishes,
Linda Walton,
(in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K.,
where I can't find any web pictures of the town *I* recognise,
and it does have *some* photogenic features).

Well, if you're interested...
This is my area at a click of a key :) Lexington volunteers have - many 
years ago - made a lovely quilt, representing various points of 
interest. The quilt itself, after hanging in the library for a year, 
was auctioned off, but the library has kept the right to print 
postcards of it and I restock, periodically, whenever I run out of them 
(not often, since I prefer to use lace ones). Since I'm unable to 
communicate with my scanner, you'll have to make do with non-textile 
photos :)
