Sunday Afternoon at the Aluminum Aviary

On Sunday, I wanted to go take pictures but I wasn't sure what the roads would be like after raining pretty much all day Saturday.  I was thinking that I would go down to Belle Isle but I heard that part of the roads down there were flooded.  I didn't feel like going to another spot to get pictures of the ship coming down.  I still wanted to get some pictures, so I decided to go get some plane pictures.

 I decided to start on top of the parking garage.  It has been a while since I have taken pictures of planes coming in from the north from there.  And I'll have to be honest, I should go there more often.  It gives some nice variety for my pictures.

 This CRJ-900 was arriving from Rochester, New York.

 Of course, it was the 757s that attracted me.  I saw that there were at least two of them coming in for the length of time I wanted to stay.

 This one was arriving from Fort Myers, Florida.

 It taxis towards the gate.

 And two of my favorite aircraft in one picture.  The bottom plane is a 717 which is a descendant of the DC-9.

 An A321 takes off as another 757 comes in for a landing.  the A321 is on its way to Atlanta.

 The 757 was arriving from Tampa.

 An A320 coming in from Boston.

 And I was able to catch another 757.

 This one was arriving from Orlando.

 Another angle of it.

 And one more.

 Another 717 coming in from Baltimore.

 A Gulfstream coming in.

 I decided to stick around for one more plane.

 The A220 is growing on me.  I really like the looks of this plane.

 This particular one was arriving from JFK in New York.

And one more shot.  As you can see, it was a pretty nice day but it was a little cold.
