Greensville and Waterdown
Hamilton, Ontario





Looking back to Hamilton from Dundas Peak


Looking down on Dundas (I live down there). I don't know the guy in the photo, he was just there


Now onto Greensville, a village on the mountain above Dundas. Greensville has a mixture of old and modern housing, including
many old stone houses















Looking into the Dundas Valley.


There are many large estates in Greensville. I think the guy who lives here is a billionaire (I'm not kidding)


Unfortunately the wealthy often live on private roads so I can't always photograph their mansions. You'll have to trust me, there
are some spectacular homes up here.








Webster's Falls, one of over 80 waterfalls within Hamilton's city limits.


The ruins of the Darnley Grist Mill at Crooks Hollow, built in 1811








Fall colours on the Niagara Escarpment. The Niagara Escarpment is a World Biosphere Reserve and this particular part of it
is protected by the Hamilton Conservation Authority. There are many conservation areas plus the Royal Botanical Gardens
protecting this area's natural beauty.






The Spencer Gorge


Tew's Falls, a little dry because it hasn't rained much lately. This waterfall
created the gorge above.


King Street winds up the mountain from Dundas with the Skyway bridge, Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario in the background






King Street and the railroad as seen from Dundas Peak, if you travel on VIA
rail between Windsor and Toronto via Aldershot you take these tracks


A little reminder that we are in suburbia



Onward to Waterdown, one of three significant old towns on the west side of Hamilton (the others are Dundas and Ancaster).












Grindstone Creek flows through Waterdown






















I looked all over for a good view of the Hamilton or Burlington skylines, but all the good views were on private property. Here is
a nice view of Hamilton's steel industry
















Smokey Hollow


















Ontario Gothic













One more blast of fall colour






Another reminder that we are in suburbia. Waterdown is growing fast with over 6500 new homes and a large big box power
centre under construction.


A look through my windshield down Highway 6 towards Hamilton. The road is being converted to a freeway.
