While Webster’s Falls were definitely the most spectacular of the day, we did do a bit of sleuthing around some of the other falls close by, starting with Boher’s Falls, and working out way out to the ruins of the old paper mill. Tito and I are contemplating a new pet project – documenting each…

Hamilton, or ‘The Hammer’ as most of us know it, is a great study in opposites. On one hand it has massive steel mills right on the harbour, belching smoke and open flame, black with soot and looking very blade runner, or as one commenter put it, “hot dirty and apocalyptic”. On the other it…
