Hand #137 Safety

I often tag along with my husband on business trips. While he attends meetings during the day, I find myself often venturing out alone. I'm always up for exploring! As preached to me in survival and safety classes I've attended ~ always be aware of your surroundings. My experience in Venice Italy was a good one, uneventful, I felt safe.  I photographed a few hands that mattered... (hotel fire alarm, No Entry sign at pier  & hands of Venice Police in San Marco)
