CROSSING THE ALPS by sangwann

CROSSING THE ALPS

Shot taken on 26th June - first day of our vacation.
It is always exciting and fascinating for me to see the Alps from the plane. Here we were flying at 35000-38000 feet on an Air Malta flight to Zurich.
Joke: Dick Cheney and George W Bush are flying on Air Force One.
George looks at Dick, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a $100.00 bill out the window right now and make one person very happy."
Dick shrugs his stiff shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $10.00 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy."
Laura tosses her perfectly hair-sprayed hair and says, "I could throw one hundred $1.00 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."

Condoleezza Rice rolls her eyes, looks at all of them and says, "I could throw all three of you out the window and make the whole country happy."
For those who asked my profession was one tied to a desk but I had (and still do) a passion for woodworking. I always had the ambition to make a Maltese clock and was also urged on by my brother in law. I had no idea about guilding and the first clock I made was for myself and it didn't come out very well. Now I have made one for my brother in law (who paints the dial for me) and one for JP. I am working on another two - one for Denise (my daughter) and another one for myself.
