^ Hamilton is awesome, and the mountain makes for a great vantage point. All the Hammer needs, (imo at least) is one or two nice glass skyscrapers to round out the downtown.

There's a few 20+ towers on their way.

So cool. You'd expect Waterworld, Venice.

That's about a 50km distance.

Driving on the QEW between Grimsby and St Catharines you can clearly see Toronto and Mississauga's skylines

I'm reposting this photo by Flar because it is by FAR the best skyline shot of Toronto I've ever seen!

Great Hamilton shots. I also spent some time at Sam Lawrence Park yesterday. It was a nice day for photos, with the occasional snow. With a handful of modern skyscrapers, we'll start looking like a mini-Montreal.

I like the strong Hamilton presence on this forum. I lived fairly close to SLP and used to go there often just to think and daydream.

I just wish it were easier to get Hamilton and Toronto's skyline together in a shot. Very few shots have them both, and thost that do have a tiny Toronto speck.

^^^ I'd love to see a current version of that Toronto skyline shot by Flar, so many new towers have been built since it was taken!

Sam Lawrence Park - Best view in the city [of Hamilton ]. Hard to believe that it was once a quarry long ago.
