This is an older shot, but still sitting and waiting for some views. Very lucky to shoot Hamilton from the escarpment. Not too many spots without trees in the way.
Happy Sunday
Six seconds to immortalize Albion Falls, surrounded by beautiful Fall colors. Three years ago we visited them for the first time, and we wanted to visit them again.
With our good friend Bill Shotton we went there and enjoyed a memorable moment seeing them, listening to them and photographing them.

Hamilton Gardens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamilton Gardens is a public garden park in the south of Hamilton owned and managed by Hamilton City Council in New Zealand. The 54-hectare park is based on the banks of the Waikato River and includes enclosed gardens, open lawns, a lake, a nursery, a convention centre and the Hamilton East Cemetery. It is the Waikato Region's most popular visitor attraction, attracting more than 1 million people and hosting more than 2,000 events a year.
Hamilton Gardens is described in popular culture as a botanical garden, but does not technically qualify as a botanical garden. Instead, the site features 21 gardens representing the art, beliefs, lifestyles and traditions of different civilisations or historical garden styles. These gardens are grouped into the Paradise, Productive, Fantasy, Cultivar and Landscape garden collections, and there is space for gardens which are still in development.
The first development of the gardens began in the early 1960s at what was then the city's waste disposal site. The first substantial development, the Rogers Rose Garden, was opened in 1971 in an attempt to block highway development over the site. Since 1982 many newly developed areas have been opened to the public. Additional features of the gardens now include a lake walkway and a waterfall lookout.

Hamilton was in trouble. Cholera outbreaks were occurring and the city needed a fresh water supply. The answer was the construction of this rather unique structure that included a boiler room which fed two massive 100 hp steam engines that drew water from Lake Ontario and pumped it 1.9 Km and up 150 feet to a reservoir located on the escarpment adjacent to the city.
No expense was spared in its construction and the entire structure was overbuilt. The smoke stack only needed to be 50 feet but was increased to 150 feet simply so that it would serve as a landmark. In fact this was the reason for its preservation. In the mid 60's plans were made to demolish it but they found because it was so overbuilt demolition was prohibitively expensive. Ultimately it was decided to preserve it as a heritage site and operate it as a museum.
The pumps are still in working condition and the tour is quite informative and fun. Well worth exploring.

A trio of GP9's on one train with a GP38-2 and GP9 on the other makes up the always interesting Hamilton Yard sets.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!

Van Wagner's Pumping Station is a low lift pumping station. A unique building built the early 1960's. The pumps draw water from lake Ontario and deliver it to the Woodward Water Treatment Plant in Hamilton.
The outside of this building is impressive and unmatched by anything in the area .The structure is deceiving as what you see from the outside actually houses very little.
Under this building is huge underground pumping and piping system with a pretty nice water fountain on the outside.

A panoramic view that is the sum of 5 images.
The images were taken at the 55mm range and slightly overlapped to eliminate seams. Since each image will have its own light/contrast tuning it is the only daunting task.
Why do it? To get a closer look than possible with wide angle lenses... and the linear expanse of the image.
