Totally awsome guys! :999: I was all over there this morning and still missed it. This shot shows those pole thingys in the background of Lakes pic. I thought they were from sail boats originally.

If the arrow points to where Lake is standing, is that the roof of a building or a parking lot.  If it is at ground level, it would not be possible to get the shot of Lake with the top of the building even with his head.  He must be on top of some structure to get the shot shown. In the other shot of the Camera di Commercio it looks like a piazza is in front of the building.

You are a bit confused, gingerman.  The green arrow is pointing to where lake is standing during the Kayak Roadblock, NOT in the post race pitstop picture.  Please go back and check page 7 again.

I think we know hes on top of a building ?

He's standing right here (black arrow) in the "post race confessional building behind Lake" photo (and not the "shirtless Lake standing by the kayak roadblock" photo).

Google sure is a lot of fun, RJ.  You can usually Google the addresses in a search engine and later find the street name on Google Earth.  Try checking the little box at the bottom of GE that says "Roads", and the street names may overlay on the GE picture.  After that it's just hit and miss, and hours and hours of mind numbing searching.    :lol:

Thanks Boingo, I will give it a try...but don't be surprised if I ask you another question about it :lol: :lol:
