October 9, 2009 En route to the 18th Biennial Biology of Marine Mammals conference in Quebec City

On October 9th I left Victoria, BC and flew to Quebec City, Quebec for the 18th Biennial conference on the biology of Marine Mammals. It was a gorgeous flight and I got some nice shots of the geography of Canadian geography as I flew from a bit of an ad for Westjet!

Flying over the islands around Vancouver Island

Gorgeous sunrise colours

And now for the Rockies...

Above 4 photos: more of the Rocky Mountains running along the BC and Alberta border

Above 2 photos: somewhere east of BC and Alberta! Just kidding...think this was Manitoba with all its lakes

River winding through a city...but I'm not sure which!

I think this was an area over Ontario

Another plane I saw pass above and behind ours...felt a little close for comfort! (But what do I know about air traffic control)
