Day trip to Italy

Today we decided to hop onto a train through the Simplon tunnel and visit Italy.  The first stop after the tunnel was the town of Domodossola and we had read that Saturday was market day, so a good day to visit.  A fine old town and the market was huge; mainly clothes, bags and leather goods but with a few food stalls, and covering most of the streets in the centre of town.  Having had a large breakfast we didn't need lunch but stopped at a small cafe for an ice cream for W and a crêpe for me, eased down with a nice glass of Prosecco.  My shot is taken in the town in one of the few squares that were not being used for the market.

I've added extras.  Firstly, a rather satisfied pigeon amongst the wild flowers.  Secondly, Big David.  Finally, no-one loves a politician but this one seemed to have found a devoted fan.
