Victoria Trip: CYKZ to CYYJ on Nov 3, 2003 and return Nov 10, 2003

Pictures taken with a Canon Powershot A60 with no experience of how to use it.

Approximately 1 hour out of Buttonville between the layers - there's blue sky ahead in the distance


This is how it's supposed to be:


Some interesting clouds:


Northern Ontario, Kenora is in the distance


On the ground in Saskatoon
