The perspective of the departing runway confirms without any doubt, we finally got the take-off clearance.

Take-Off-Clearance

Two opposing air masses are suggesting potential instability and turbulence not far from our current position.

Turbulence

Flying over an unusual flow of clouds, perfectly aligned above the deep blue sea.

River of Clouds

In an intense blue sky, a plane glides silently in the opposite direction.

Lueurs d'Aéroport

A multitude of colorful halos appear on the window in the rainy night upon our arrival at Montréal-Trudeau Airport.

Rainy Arrival

And just as we encountered stunning twilight colors, we heard the captain's voice announcing, "You can see to your right, the lights of the oil derricks."

Derrick Lights

And at some point, for a very short time, the clear shadow of our flight appeared on the sea of clouds.

Turbulence B

In two minutes, the journey comes to an end. The shadow of the plane crosses the approach zone of Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport.

Landing in two minutes B

On the tarmac, the passage of plane wheels left imprints of snow creating a vision of ephemeral crossings.

Tarmac Crossings B

As we descend, we get closer to the cloud cover which seems more and more padded.

Above the Clouds B

The silhouette of our plane stands out more clearly and appears closer and closer to the surrounding fields: the landing is now imminent.

Many photographs from my "Window Seat" portfolio have been selected by the interior designer team of  Provencher-Roy in charge of the refurbishment of the IATA Head Office in Montreal in 2024.

As this is a private office. you cannot visit and see the artworks. But this Virtual Exhibition will offer you a sense of what is in display over there to the staff and to the international community attending to IATA meetings and events for years to come.

Of course, the settings in this Virtual Exhibition are a bit different but artwork sizes and type of framing are respected to the best possible extent. 

Enjoy this visit!  

NB: All my artwork is available in various sizes and framing, please refer to my website at www.thierrycerpolet.com. For any details and for any enquiry just ask and  I will be very pleased to respond.
