This week's PhotoHunt theme is "wide."
Wide open space from the window of a wide-body jet. This is sunrise over the Swiss Alps, taken on my way to Italy a couple of weeks ago. This was the only snow I saw on my trip.

Really enjoyed your Venice photos. I think you could use a long walking stick when sloshing along through the water, so you won't fall into a canal. What do you think?
Drop by mine for Christmas trees, etc.
