Landing

Was going through some images that got overlooked from my summer vacation … and here’s one of them. That was the view out the window as my flight from Amsterdam arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport, way back in August.

Fun with fruits and vegetables

From one of my trips earlier this year: This is one of the kids’ play areas at Calgary International Airport.

Airport pardner

Airport pardner

One of the many pieces of art to adorn the public spaces at Calgary International Airport.
Art is everywhere … and it’s not all western/cowboy themed.
There a life-size rock climber overlooking the main public lounge, a huge horse sculpture near the customs exit, aircraft hanging over one of the departure terminal, metallic etchings and carvings amid the floor tiles.
Every time I fly or pick someone up, I try to find something new, a little visual adventure to pass the time.

Translucent polygons

This lovely piece of stained glass adorns one end of Terminal 2 at the San Diego airport.

River of fog

Looking down from a plane at the B.C. Lower Mainland last Tuesday … that blanket of humidity was quite shallow. As our aircraft was descending for arrival Vancouver airport, the tires hit the runway not long after we pierced through the fog.

Out of memory

This is why Windows continues to be the butt of jokes. Found this as I was travelling last week, with a layover at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

Red streak

An unintentional shot, taken with the Hipstamatic app for iPhone, as I was whiling away the hours during a layover at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport about a year ago.
It turned out to be an interesting abstract image, in my humble opinion. 🙂
