Pitched roofs of wartime Hamilton housing and smoke from steel companies pepper the Hamilton landscape, VIA 98 passes over Gage Ave in Hamilton with minutes left of sunlight. Thanks to the time change, this shot was possible because last week, feggetaboutit. With any luck we might see this again.. but the last time was April 2018 and push the time dial more than a decade more... cross your fingers. But for those who missed it tonight - you have 97 tomorrow morning! good luck!

    Did you get it James? There were a few of us in town.. I even brought my co-worker along from Brazil to see what it was all about. I figured the Hamilton photo lines were thick with lenses..

    I can only come down due to March break as the kids activities have subsided for the week.
