The Bag

So this is how it happens. A piece of luggage falls off a tram at the airport in Vancouver. One of the workers kindly moves it off the road to the side.
And then several others, including another luggage tram as I write this – simply walk past it with looks of mild curiosity. Sorry, fellow passenger, no bag for you tonight.
Photo from iPhone – hence the poor quality.
PS. Somebody did eventually pick it up.

Not all warm and fuzzy, but looks cool. Hope Santa doesn’t smash through the glass.

In beautiful Vancouver. Always great to look out and see the mountains and the sky. Even if while stuck in traffic. Taken with my trusty iPhone.

File under “It’s About Freaking Time” (coincidentally also about me getting back to making photos and posting them). Winnipeg is now host to the newest international airport in Canada: the James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. The old airport is now dark and hopefully soon a pile of rubble. I’ve only known the old shack, and with the travel I’ve done over the years I became increasingly desperate for a facelift.
The new building went live the beginning of this month but I only had my first flight out 3-weeks into it. New, shiny, light, airy. Of course some shots were in order, yet strangely they became dark and relatively foreboding. Really about the geometry. Shiny pictures are on their website.
Looking down the length of the departures terminal. Blessedly empty this mid-morning. Light streams in from all around.
And for those coming home, a nice open area bathed in natural light courtesy of the skylights above.
Windows abound, from the check-in terminals…
…to the gateways themselves. It’s really cool having an open view while heading to your flight.
Kudos to the good folks who put this whole thing together. It will take getting used to but long overdue.

Nothing says Remembrance Day like…
…a ringette tournament. Cold arena is my home for the day. Photo courtesy of my iPhone.
