Month: September 2018

We took a drive to Montreal to visit with friends. I knew that they lived near Dorval Airport or Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport (YUL), but what I didn’t realize was that they live almost directly under the approach to the Airport.

It was very distracting to sit with our friends while so many wonderful planes from all over the world were flying overhead. I finally broke down and grabbed my camera to shoot these planes in the dying light of the day. I used an ISO of 800 to keep the photos sharp, but I can see a bit of noise in the photos when I zoom in.

Hopefully our friends will invite us back again soon. We had a wonderful visit with them and the show above was spectacular.

The next time we go, I will attempt to write down where each plane is arriving from or going to and include that information.  There is a great website you can use to view flights in and out of your local airport. It is called www.flightradar24.com

Today we took in the Beechwood Cemetery 24th Annual Historical Walking Tour. The purpose of the tour is to highlight some of the famous people who are buried at the cemetery. I could have filled several pages with photos from the tour it was so interesting.

At each of this year’s highlighted people headstones, several actors would bring that person “back to life”. I would have liked to showcase all the various actor’s but with 150 people in our “small” group there were too many people for me to feel comfortable including on my page. It was hard enough to just get photos of the headstones on their own.

I would really recommend their tours, which are held on frequently. Check out their website for more information.  http://www.beechwoodottawa.ca
