Like the start of a good horror movie, a thick fog has settled over Toronto.
I took the DJI neo out for a backwards walkabout to capture the ambiance.

It looks like the Russian airforce shot down a passenger plane on Christmas morning.
An Embraer 190 of Azerbaijan Airlines crashed near Aktau, its tail full of holes. Early reports that some of the 67 were rescued.
The Pilots died trying.

Some pictures taken with my DJI mini 2 drone last fall at a Canadian Food grains bank event. Volunteers harvested a field of grain in Manitoba to feed the poor and hungry.
