Great picture. Any idea of where the natural shoreline would be between the Skyway Bridge and Coote's Paradise?

I didn't realize Hamilton had so little greenspace/parkland from it's core south. Good thing it has a great tree canopy in the summer.

Yeah there used to be a lot of inlets in Hamilton, marsh areas. Now it's all covered up.

The east end is shown in that photo. Due south from downtown takes you to the escarpment and then to the mountain, which are to the left in the picture.

I'm there almost bi-weekly and I always get turned around.

That’s the Le Germain building, condos, hotel and office tower. That’s Montreal architecture for you, but I happen to like it a lot.

I love it. A very cool and unique building that adds spice into an area that sorely needed it. It will soon be joined by another extremely unique and spicy 222 meter beauty only a block away, Telus Sky

In this photo, Telus Sky would appear directly behind it, while the Bow would appear just to the right.
