Photo: Planes Beneath the Mountains

I've been getting an anomalous number of hits today by people searching Bing for "Vancouver International Airport" - I can't explain why, because this weblog doesn't show up in at least the first two results pages - but I figured why not, if people are looking for things related to YVR, I'll provide!

I took this particular shot last time I was down there, looking across the field toward the North Shore Mountains. I wasn't expecting to find that American Airlines plane there; that line's not a common visitor to YVR, only flying from here to Dallas/Fort Worth, though for a while planes on that route did have a tendency to overfly my apartment in New Westminster, loud and low around 10 AM, during final approach. Behind it is one of the countless Air Canada flights that depart from here, and in front is a Horizon Air turboprop that could be bound either for Portland or Seattle.
