Just a shot of the Rome 2009 World Aquatics Championships swimming pool spectator stands, taken mainly because of those beautiful trees in the background. Jeez, everything is special when you come from the cold and windy north, including trees :-)

The Rome 2009 World Aquatics Championships photo crew repositioning themselves at the pool. No idea why, must have been coming straight from a meeting, or switching to/from the 50m events or whatever.

CC photo #97: The Roma 2009 ‘spider cam’
OK, not sure that this is an actual Spidercam, but it behaved pretty much in the same way, running along cables high over the Rome 2009 World Aquatic Championships pool. Pulled by hand, I’ve been told, but still cool :-) Update – a pro tells me this is a ‘wirecam’. Makes sense! :-)

CC photo #94: A smart Greek in Rome
A Greek swimmer giving me a total ‘aha’ moment while cooking in the sun on the athlete’s stand at the FINA 2009 World Championships in Rome, Italy. They know a lot more about keeping cool in the sun, than us the Faroese. Really.
