^^It's King William, probably just missing a couple buildings since you last saw it.

I only had a few short hours to do photography, so I didn't get a chance to use my fast primes, but I did get to use the wide angle.

Hamilton does not show itself well to visitors. Much of downtown Hamilton is weak and almost all of the main thoroughfares are lined with empty, decrepit buildings and parking lots (I'm thinking Main, King, Cannon, Barton, Burlington, Wellington, etc). Almost all of the nice things are in places visitors would never find (like Westdale, Locke South, Ottawa St, West Harbour or Dundas).
Incidentally, except for the skyline shots, two pictures from Dundas (24 and 74) and two from Ottawa St. (31 and 32) the rest of this is downtown Hamilton and the neighbourhoods directly surrounding it.
