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 B

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

Tarmac Crossings B

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

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

Turbulence

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

Rainy Arrival

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

Silent Flight

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

River of Clouds

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

Above the Clouds B

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

Flight Shadow

Perched on his platform, balancing in the middle of the snowstorm, the person responsible for de-icing the wing appears unreally in the steam released by the de-icing product.

De-icing Required B

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."

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.
