Volume 1, Edition 16
‘Toronto Tuesday‘ is a weekly photo feature about random stuff (landmarks, people, culture, seasons, etc.) in the city.
Earlier today I was hanging out at the Toronto ferry docks and the city’s small airport was nearby. It’s actually on an island few hundred meters from the coast. Smaller commercial flights and private planes operate from here.
Here are few pictures of airplanes. Unfortunately my camera only has 3x zoom. 
That’s a Porter Airlines plane. It was gliding so slowly that I thought it was stationary.
Maroon-White airways. Oh sorry there is nothing like that.
Nice plane. I’d like to fly some day. Fly a plane not fly in a plane (I’ve done that)
This plane had no clue what to do. The place was very windy.
I think for such small planes they should allow landing in the direction of wind.
Oh wait, that’s not a plane, its a seagull!
Bro #1
Bro #2, coming right after, maybe they are twins or lovers or some planes were on sale.
Porter again!
I will be back to this place, when I have some money to buy a camera with a nice telephoto lens. Until then I will read your comments. These two are not related, but whatever.

Ah! Those Magnificent men in their flying machines!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. My goodness, your photos and the way you talk about them is so hilarious.
hehehe, I can talk about any thing in any way you want!
Even with 3x zoom limitation, those are beautiful snaps.
Thanks Rajesh!
I’ve tried taking pictures of aeroplanes but they didn’t come out well. Yours are quite nice actually and I like the angles at which you took them. Also, I think one needs a very powerful camera.
Thanks Nita! I agree, one needs a good camera, mine is not well suited for taking pictures of planes…
“I think for such small planes they should allow landing in the direction of wind.” hahaha quite thoughtful
hehehe, but you agree, dont you!
Porter Airlines advertises a lot in Ottawa.
Some of my student who regularly go to TO say that landing on Toronto Island is a bit scary actually, because of the wind!
“Your students”? Do you still teach? O. o, I am so uninformed! I bet its scary because the runway is tiny really!
I prefer the natural bird rather than the metallic.
Celine, I know what you mean. But picturing birds with my camera is crazy difficult – they fly anywhere they want and go anywhere they like!
I think its quite difficult to take photos of moving objects. Good ones!
Thanks Amit! The nice thing here was that the airport was close by so there were many planes. However since I was so close to them, it also meant that they appeared to fly very fast.
