at the island airport

beautiful day and one would think this is not a day for bad luck or sickness.

i had a mild case of vertigo this morning, perhaps from a sinus allergy from yesterday. but whoa! everything was spinning but thankfully i shook it off by going out and about. choo-choo train kept me company just in case.

holy cow! people took advantage of the exceptionally pretty weather as the trains were jampacked. i chose to go to the park where @northy and i were two weeks ago when we went with the toronto women's camera club. it was deserted but for a couple of men, but sailboats were busy going to and fro through this outlet and we had some near mishaps.

a photographer chatted me up and was quite interested in this study i was undertaking with the little choo-choo train. he even offered to hold the train. unfortunately, the shot was, well, shut! that was because i saw out of the corner of my eye that a plane was getting ready to taxi and i wanted a shot with the train as the plane was taking off. so as much as i was gratfeful i had to get on with my planned shot. of course, it didn't pan out. i hate getting distracted. i could've had it.

so i thought before anything happens, i better head on back. but as i neared the boardwalk, i saw another passenger plane took off and put the choo-choo train on a ledge and aimed my camera and took a shot.

and that's when the dreadful tragedy struck.

thank you, folks, for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly and greatly appreciated.

Oh no! the train took a dive?! I like the coomposition of this one. It isn't often one sees train, planes and water all in the same shot!

Sorry about your vertigo! that is nasty stuff!

I"ll have to log on to the news for this area and I might find out what tragedy occurs! It could be real or it just could be that little choochoo train took a dive into the water? Look after yourself - dizziness is a symptom!

Sorry about the vertigo, I am full time on pills for it, don't need alchohol for the floating feeling so at least it is cheap.
Awaiting news of the catastrophe, do hope it was not you or your camera in the drink.
I might tell you I now have Burt Bacharac in my head "trains... and ...boats and planes ......"

nothing like a mystery, though my favorite mystery in your narrative was just how the choochoo might help you out in just in case ... carry you home?

Hope you are feeling better ( had this type of symptoms 2 years ago during one week and discovered i had a "problem" inside my ears...it was almost nothing but i had to see the doctor twice to solve the problem)
Take care :)

Interesting composition. I hope you are okay. One can only speculate as to what tragedy has struck.

Oh, no! Did the choo-choo take a dive?

Since I'm reading the pictures backwards, I know the awful end. Such a lovely day, but not so lovely by the end.
