Russ, thanks so much for alerting us to the fact that there are cameras .. I didn't know. Sure wish it had sound, guess that's getting greedy. Can always play 60s music when I watch it. Now we will all lurk at home in the dark and cold, watching people at TV having fun. And then, before long, it will be our turn!!! Can hardly wait!! ;D

You can see how long the line is at the Rialto movie theater from the Spanish Springs web-cam. The Rialto is the building with the marquee which is just left of the Church on the Square. That is during the day though. Could not make much out at night. You get the sunset too from the Spanish Springs web-cam.

We could make big Ts and a V with people? The O would be a bit difficult? Do need a gymnast or at least someone rather in shape for the V. I suppose two very flexible people could make an "O".

Taltarzac: I'll volunteer for the T if you can wait until October 26!! Altho I'm short, if you want a tall T I'll volunteer my husband. You might be hard pressed to find anyone flexible enough for the O .... Perhaps you can use one of the tires that Bam is painting white for use as a lawn ornament.

We would probably have to do this more than once because you never know when anyone is looking at that web-cam.

Reminds me of that Survivor where they had to get the attention of a plane by spelling out S.O.S. There are a lot of possibilities here as JohnZ pointed out in a previous post.

The Spanish Springs web-cam looks like it is coming from a camera just above the Sevilla lettering on one of the corner buildings? Walked around that Square today with a yellow bandage on my left arm after donating blood at Florida's Blood Centers. Got a free Firehouse Sub for doing this. That's quite a meatball sub.

I will have to check and see if I can spot the Sumter Landing camera.

If you put the camera in Sumter at your back, and look up you will see it almost at the top of the building.

My wife says I am addicted to the villages. I have the TOTV short cut and the web cam shortcuts and am on here every day after work. a wishing and a dreaming that I was there with you all. Those web cams get dark and lonely fairly early.
Larry & Bev :) :)

The angle of both Lake Sumter and Spanish Springs' web-cams changed. Now, it seems to be going straight out rather than tilted to the right as it had the last day I looked at it-- September 5, 2007.

They changed it from this morning when I last looked. I like this view, hope they keep it this way. :)
