The CNE, otherwise known as the Canadian National Exhibition, runs for a little over two weeks at the end of the summer. The grounds are very near the northern shore of Lake Ontario in Toronto, about one to two kilometres away. One of the highlights of the CNE is the Air Show that features U.S. and Canadian Forces jets and planes. Sitting on the border of downtown and midtown in Toronto gave the neighbourhood a good chance to see the roaring jets flying overhead. Amid the cicadas, birds, insects, and random comments, the jets drowned out nature. Have a listen to the sound scene I captured of the air show overhead on its second to last afternoon, ahead of Labour Day 2023. Best listened in a quiet room with headphones.
