C-FTWJ
For this shot I was camped out right at the start of runway 23, so that the planes were passing directly overhead. To give you an idea of just how close this Boeing 737 was, this was shot with an 18-70mm lens at 18mm and is not cropped. The plane was probably no more than 50 or 60 feet overhead. Yes, it was scary. Scarier still is that this same plane experienced engine failure at 3300 feet on March 11, 2003, shortly after takeoff from Kelowna, BC. It returned to Kelowna and landed safely. (It’s amazing what you can find out on the Internet.)
City of Bangkok Touching Down
KLM / Royal Dutch Airlines’ Boeing 747 ‘City of Bangkok’ touches down on runway 23 in Toronto. Moments earlier the 747 — once the world’s largest passenger plane — was preceded by an Emirates A380, now the world’s largest.
Emirates A380 Landing in Toronto
The massive Airbus A380, operated by Emirates Airlines as flight EK241 from Dubai to Toronto, completes its journey on runway 23 at Lester B. Pearson International Airport. The A380 is now the world’s largest commercial passenger plane. Scheduled arrival time at the gate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is 3:45pm, but on this day it touched down at 3:03pm and was at the gate just a few minutes later.
Harbour Crossing
A small boat crosses Toronto’s Inner Harbour from the islands to the mainland.
The White Pair
I wish I could say it has been sunny enough for sunglasses like these, but so far summer in Toronto has been less than desirable. This is a shot from last summer.

Get a Grip
I’m not sure how far off the ground the gloves and the person parted ways.
