Flight to Toronto

\Had to go to Toronto on business this past week, and of course I had my camera handy...


My Bombardier Dash 8, compliments of Porter


Rideau River bend, south of Manotick


Belleville, ON


Trenton Air Force Base


Presqu'Ile Provincial Park


Sand/gravel mine on the north shore of Lake Ontario at Victoria Beach, west of Trenton, ON


Scarborough's Bluffer's Park with the Scaroborough Bluffs prominent.



Toronto Beach water filtration plant, east of Victoria Park Ave. I used to live in an apartment immediately east of this plant.


Toronto's Beaches Park to the right, Ashbridges Bay Park to the left.


The Leslie Spit, with Tommy Thompson Park

Toronto skyline with Toronto's Algonquin and Centre Island forefront.

Toronto Island, Center Island and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

Toronto Skyline from the tarmac

Shadows...

The original island airport control tower, built at the start of WWII and soon to be restored. The island airport was founded as a training ground for commonwealth and allied pilots through the war.

Leuty Lifeguard station, Kew Beach.


Enjoying a hot day on the water.

Gasping for wind...

Cooling off at the beach.

Stormy tower from my hotel balcony.


Waiting to return to Ottawa, note the United Nations Dash 7 in the foreground.
