Hamilton City is known as the City of Waterfalls. According to the city's promotion it has 100 waterfalls, and although I have seen and photographed several I have not attempted to check or photograph them all. Hamilton is located at a section of the Niagara Escarpment, with part of the city above and part below. The waterfalls are the result of streams and creeks and rivers flowing over the Escarpment. The most famous of these falls is Niagara. Although not in Hamilton, and not pictured in this thread, as I had mentioned the Niagara Escarpment.
It is the world's longest escarpment. The Hamilton portion, in many places 100 m (330') tall, is commonly referred to as "the Mountain" by locals. On average the Hamilton Mountain is 4–5 km inland from the Lake Ontario shoreline and at its edge affords views of the city and harbour. (Wikipedia). It is this height difference
Today's photograph is of a view from the escarpment at Spencer's Gorge, over seeing the Town of Dundas, in Hamilton.
In the near proximity to this gorge are two popular water falls: The Tews waterfall and Webster's Falls.
I visited the area 2 days after a heavy rainfall, the result of which can be seen in the water flow, especially over the Webster falls.
Webster's Falls.
In this photo I had problems deciding on the level. In the foreground when I levelled the crest of the waterfall, the bridge in the back ground became skewed. If I levelled the bridge the falls was skewed. I went back and forthlooking for a compromise that would make both look good. Your input would be appreciated.
