It kind of looks like Toronto is just high-rises and forest in that shot.

I took a few pictures from Wards Island yesterday. The skyline certainly looks massive from there, especially at night:

Grim streetscape.

It's not that bad and actually home to the 104st farmer's market.

Hamilton City Hall is a gem.

Hope they never try to 'renovate' it by stripping it of its 1960 fabulousness. We've seen countless renovations where they have no respect for the architecture. They remove it all (destroy it) in an attempt to make a building look current,

It looks fantastic in that photo. Love the clock and the font used which was in keeping with its design style. Quick Google search reveals:

“The project involved a comprehensive rehabilitation and upgrade of City Hall, an important civic building in Hamilton as well as an architecturally significant example of the “International Style” in Canada originally designed by City architect Stan Roscoe in 1956.
Renovations were undertaken to functionally improve the building while maintaining its heritage characteristics. The site and building were completely restored, with improvements such as replacing the exterior cladding and curtain wall, interior renovations, life safety upgrades, increased barrier-free access, and upgrades to the building’s energy”.

The renovation was completed in 2010 and cost $55.2 million.

+3 It's such a distinctive landmark for the city. I like going back to this image I took a few years ago just because the clock face is really distinctive from some parts of the core.

Thanks for the information. Looks like this building will be safe .... for while at least.
