A poor attempt at reconnecting with... me...

Photo journal time, however poorly done.

I took a drive up to Hamilton, ON last night to take a fresh look at a city I haven't seen in probably 20 years, if not more. With over a half-million residents living within the city and surounding area, Hamilton is listed as the 9th largest city in Canada. It sits at the western most tip of Lake Ontario, almost exactly half-way between Niagara Falls and Toronto in driving distance. The city is full of natural beauty and architectural points of interest.

Unfortunately I don't think I captured that much of it at all. By the time I got into the city it was nearing sunset, lighting was becoming difficult and honestly, I felt uninspired and restrianed by my own mind.

I'll need to go back and try this again when I have a longer day to spend...

There are a large number of wall murals around the downtown area. This one, kind of freaked me out. I had to capture it.

I was going to say I failed to get pictures because I decided to work in a restaurant all night. Cooking might have inspired me more than my photography did.

I was thinking about that... but it was a last minute thing. Had the evening to myself and went.

If I would have carried on to London, the sun would have set before I got there.

I like them. The 2nd one with how the water shines. And it show us what catchs your eyes, like the reflection in the glass sided building.

It is you. Nothing not to like about it.

I'm with rat on this one- it isn't so much about what the pictures are of, although you got lovely shots, it is more about seeing what you saw. And you did a fabulous job-

And BOO! only 2.263 miles from me (in Saharia-ese, that's 42 hours...lol)

I like the shiny buildings... and the mural rocked... like a mirror image almost. Loved it!

...yes, she has immortalized me with her artwork. It is a wonderful hand-created image based off of the incredible work of Morrigon who designed and created the photograph.

So I have been immortalized by two amazing artists.

I am very fortunate to have both Morrigon and ChasingTheGhost enriching my life. :)
