Helicopter adventure at sunrise

When my fellow photog friend Michel Roy let me know he was looking for two more passengers (Nino and myself) for a hellicopter ride over Quebec City.. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.  So, up at 6 am and headed to the airport for our tour with Capital Helipro.. just in time for sunrise over the city !

The doors were taken off for us to take photos, can I just tell you that at two thousand feet in a helicopter with no doors .. it's a bit cold and windy (and not just a bit)!!  But I'm not complaining because it was a blast and I would do it again anytime !!

I was so bundled up with so many layers of clothing.. I look like a blue polar bear !

Wow, speechless!!! like Michel said, that mirror shot is fantastic. Actually all of your photos are. That Mr. X made me laugh! Simple concept but very powerful and unique. Well done.
