Winnipeg looks way too cool to deserve the reputation it has. I really want to visit there sometime soon.

I like the last shot. It shows how the East End keeps pretty steady density and sort of shows the Burlington skyline (only about 5 or 6 pixels tall, but still visible).

Okay, I have no idea what that tallest building that looks like it's part way up the escarpment is.

The brown octagonal (or hexogonal or something) one with a lot of windows is called the Olympia, I think it's the third or fourth tallest in Hamilton.
The other brown one on the left, I don't know.



Lots of neat (or creepy) possibilities for a telephoto lens in that area:

I mean the one over in Burlington on the horizon that looks part way up the escarpment. Sorry. I thought it would be clear I knew Hamilton buildings.

Also typo-ed tallest when I meant tallish.

I don't know the name of the building but it's about 2050 Upper Middle Road just east of Guelph Line.
At only 16 floors it really stands out because of it elevation compared to areas south of the QEW.
I passed by this building all the time when coming home from work and it always seemed to be much taller than it was when you see it up close.

Huh, it's a much older building than I'd though. Odd I'd never noticed it before.

It impressed me (for it's size). Thought it had to be pushing 50k easy.
