Potsdamer Platz is an important public square and traffic intersection in the centre of Berlin, Germany, lying about one kilometre south of the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, and close to the southeast corner of the Tiergarten park.

It is named after the city of Potsdam, some 25 km to the south west, and marks the point where the old road from Potsdam passed through the city wall of Berlin at the Potsdam Gate. After developing within the space of little over a century from an intersection of rural thoroughfares into the most bustling traffic intersection in Europe, it was totally laid waste during World War II and then left desolate during the Cold War era when the Berlin Wall bisected its former location.

Since German reunification, Potsdamer Platz has been the site of extensive redevelopment. Potsdamer Platz Webcam and Live Berlin City Webcam

Webcasts are a great way to share your work and knowledge with other photographers, but if you’re using a tired old webcam from five years ago you’re likely coming off kind of fuzzy. If you want to clear up the connection, go with Logitech’s HD Pro Webcam C910 which lets you record in full 1080p HD video and make video calls in 720p HD. Meanwhile, Logitech’s Fluid Crystal technology is designed to transmit smooth, jitter-free motion in your video feeds along with bold but accurate colors.

You’ll also sound loud and clear thanks to the dual microphones on either side of the webcam’s lens. It’s amazing how much these attachable cameras have come down in size and the multi-featured C910 is no exception. Just 25mm thick, the discreetly designed webcam won’t dangle precariously from the top of your computer like an old shoe. Times have changed, after all.

And as with all of Logitech’s latest models, the C910 offers easy-to-use features including one-click uploading to Facebook and YouTube. There’s also a way to take snapshots, with the C910 capable of recording 10-megapixel photos.

Logitech’s HD webcams are webcamconnection and Skype-certified but unfortunately only compatible with Windows-based PCs. But as anyone with a recent Mac knows, Apple already gives you a very decent webcam built into your computer. Windows users looking to get the most out of their video calls, webcasts and webcamchatroulette, on the other hand, should definitely consider upgrading to the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 with 1080p Video

The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply the Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.

Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and loose substrate that has allowed the foundation to shift direction. The tower currently leans to the southwest. Pisa Webcam Live Tower view.

The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the highest side. The width of the walls at the base is 4.09 m (13.42 ft) and at the top 2.48 m (8.14 ft). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase.

Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. This means that the top of the tower is 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from where it would stand if the tower were perfectly vertical. Pisa Webcam Live Tower view and live webcam from Italy.
