A set of photos I've taken of planes landing at the Tampa airport.

Taken from approximately this location. It's a little public beach on Tampa Bay. When the airplanes pass over, it's incredibly loud. After they've passed, there's a peculiar effect where little eddies form hundreds of feet behind and produce a sound like papers being rustled by wind hundreds of feet up.

It might interest some that I saw a few roseate spoonbills, a skimmer, numerous brown pelicans, an osprey, and what looked like a shrike. it's a nice place. I suggest you visit
