Surreal arial view over the Italian peninsula

Of course, the familiar shape of "the boot"

Featuring Sicily in the middle, Malta at the bottom, the boot, Sardinia, Corsica, the cloud covered Alps, and the Balkans. It almost looks as if you could put your hand in the cool pond water, or poke your hand in the grass, or reach out and feel the cold air above the Alps. Also, the larger landmass can be seen under the sea. It also looks like a view from the top of a mountain from a much smaller scale. Amazing photograph.
