Whoa that took awhile to load up. Did a good job Taha.

The Art Gallery is looking good with the renovations so far.

To see the progress made here's pictures of the Art Gallery I took over the summer

^ That's Trinity Landing, former Hamilton Spectator warehouse being turned into lofts. It was a real eyesore.

The rendering looks a lot different since it's got an extra floor. Dunno what happened there.

I've wanted to take a pic from this bridge on james looking north to downtown. You would probabely need the railroads persmission to get on top of that bridge. But, the shot would be great.

Way to go. Great pics. I've never seen a Hamilton photo thread quite like this before. Just your usual skyline shots from the mountain...

Brett you might get on top of the bridge if you go under John Street from the bridge, you should see a door there. I dunno if you need to pay the GO train to get up though.

It would be an interesting view.

Great pictures Taha :okay:

I don't think on these forums we have seen too many photos of Hamilton's downtown up, close, and personal. Great pictures. Too bad the day was crappy. I always think sunny days make any city look gorgeous. :)

The 2nd picture gives downtown a bit of charm and niceness, IMO!
I like that one the best!

And the 8th, 9th, and 10th, really make Hamilton look like it has amazing urbanity and a bigger city than what it is. :)

Hey Brett this is the kind of view you would get from on top of the bridge.

yeah, but what i was thinking is looking back towards downtown. That way you could get the pigot building and the twin bank towers behind...

Well, after making my last post this morning i decided to try to get the shot i wanted. I almost succeded, but i couldn't leave the train platform... Then, i figured i was downtown already might as well take a few pics!

Here is the "almost" shot

This is one of Hamiltons hidden buildings, an old mansion that is now apartments and barley visible. The first shot is looking down James across from the building, then looking across the road at the building. Then i took every angle i could find...

You did good job guys.

Hey that's quite nice, beautiful clear blue sky. So how did you get on top of the bridge? Have to pay? Someone kick you off the bridge?

That bridge really does give quite a new perspective. Now I wanna get on that bridge and take pictures lol.

I never knew about that mansion. I'll have to keep my eyes open next time I'm around that area.

To get on the bridge i just sweet talked the lady at the ticket both, then got a special escort up top.... Actually i was a little surprised they let me up!

How does the working class neighbourhood close to Stelco looks like?

Brett
March 19th, 2005, 05:25 PM
Thats a funny question cuz i believe that most of the employees of the steel mills live no where near there place of employment. The housing around the industrial area was nice at one time but is pretty run down now for the most part. The air tastes horrible down there.

Great pics, thanks!!!!
Its great to get the photos of the real streetscapes. In smaller cities you can only look at the skyline in so many ways.

But when I see those pics and I know what Hamilton smells like and am soooo glad I'm an ex-Londoner.

They look like any other Canadian.

But the folks working at Stelco and Dofasco don't live in the North End. They make good income so they can afford to live in places like Dundas and Ancaster.

Thank you for loving my photos steeltown. You know I haven't taken any other photos since february. So I am always happy to use my samsung camera. This Camera is absolutely nice and inexpensive for you or someone else. I bought it about 300 dollar from future shop. You can get a better one like same as mine. I like you to buy new camera then. :cheers:

Here is my camera

Hi Taha,

Thanks for the photos.. but you really have to take them outside the car when you're downtown. (just a thought)
