swoon / one-shot / pearson-tilt-2021:
here's a shot of Pearson Airport in Toronto. It was taken in 2021 and is used in some official branding.
It's also using some kind of telephoto lense, to make Toronto seem close.
oh hi
Pearson serves 1,174 flights a day. 
- that's about
1 landing every 2 mins
in the daytime. These east-west runways that we can see see do the bulk of the work.
if you're lucky, you can get a neat view of town. The sun, like in this photo, sets behind us.
You can also see the amazing patchwork of highways and train lines, serving the airport. 
Pearson sits at the confluence of several major highways. The 401 alone serves 400k people /day.
Pearson only sees a quarter of that.
This is a photo of car transporation at its most-impressive peak.
There is a tangible limit to what scale is possible with cars, and you're looking at it.
About 10% of its visitors come by the UP express train, which is barely visible. 
There is a nearby LRT under construction, which antipates 7 times the traffic, but will stop short of the airport - a nearly walkable distance.
The busses are negligble, and are a horror.
There is good reason to be optimistic about Pearson as a transit hub in the future. 
if you plot the projects under development and squint, you can see the beginnings of a "Union Station West"
Also unpictured is the Canadian High-Speed rail project, which will come in somewhere from Montreal.
The Ontario Line will almost certainly turn north at some point, as well.
It would be really neat to see. Looking south at a similar angle, you can see the growth planned in Etobicoke
