Morning over the Alps

An early morning flight to Italy allowed some nice photos to be taken of the Alps on the way down.




This is the sort of sight I wake up to a lot, a sunrise seen from the air is beautiful.

This photo was taken as we were in the decent to Pisa airport; the Alps are really impressive as you fly over them. Interestingly because they are so high air turbulence is quite common as you fly over them, this takes place about an hour after leaving London and on a long haul flight that just as the drinks trolley is coming round so if you ever wondered why you were wearing your drink .... Now you know

This last photo shows the highest peaks sticking out above the cloud layer, its not often you get the chance to take a photo like this
