Although, from the CN Tower upper deck you should be able to get something if the light is right. It would be interesting to see what's possible.

You can't see Hamilton from Toronto for a few reasons but mostly due to the skyline not being very tall and the fact that the Niagara escarpment is behind/part of it. You can actually see the hotels of the Niagara Falls skyline much more easily even though they are farther away.

Yeah... if Hamilton got some Shangri-La style pure glass towers you might be able to see the light glinting off, or if a few taller things get built on the 'mountain', but as is the towers blend right in.

Wow. Not much I can add on the 'back' of that picture. And the city looks pretty good, too.

Re:Tosin, don't be too hard on the guy. If anything, given his disposition for statistics keeping and painfully blunt, seemingly immature directness, I tended to think (assume) he may be Asperger with co-morbid OCD traits. As a person who has to deal with these attributes day in, day out, with one of my sons, I sympathize. He may be back someday. I didn't mind any of the pics he posted, they just sometimes became too frequent and plentiful...and THEN he'd open his mouth....

Hang in there, big fella.

There was actually a clear day recently where I was on the waterfront, and could see Hamilton's steel mills!

No I previously suggested people who post without tagging are worse than Hitler. I've reconsidered. That was a bit harsh. Definitely worse than Bin Laden though
