Yesterday we stayed overnight in Vancouver, and it was a chance to do another session of ‘fair spotting’ 
(See one recent report of this kind, from YYZ).
There’s a place on the South part of YVR known to many people as ‘Flying Beaver’. Or, some people call it ‘Flying Beavers’ - that’s for a reason - there’s a fair number of DHC-2 ‘Beaver’ aircraft flying in and out of the place.
It is hard to believe, but the summer is over..
And the country has just switched ‘back to normal’ from the day saving time.
However, it doesn’t matter what time is on your clock now, - it is just a perfect morning hour, - it’s time to get UP
By the way, it was -14 in Edmonton this morning.
Here’s two more images, from the other day, taken at another hour - a dash towards the sunrise.
Good morning!

And a first stop is at Saskatoon again.
Wouldn’t that be nice if they determined the model price simply by its weight? Although the rule of thumb ‘The more solid material, the more expensive the model‘ also affects price equation, the main price factors lay on different grounds.

So, Halloween had come on Russian soil. And we learned more about it though.. school, one of the first privately owned and run outfits of this kind in Krasnodar, Russia. The school had an unusually simple name: ‘Julia‘, or ‘Private School ‘Julia’.
During those ‘incredible 90s’ in Russia when ‘Perestroika‘, - a tremendous shift of epic proportion from ‘Communism to Capitalism just overnight’ was on full throttle, Russians were introduced to many things either unknown to them before, or it was the stuff they might have just heard very little at the best.
