Old Structures

[cn nutbar]

Hello Everyone---nice to see this thread restarted.I guess I've always taken old buildings for granted,assuming they'll always be there tomorrow but we all know that progress has little regard for old derelic buildings and finds the easiest solution is to tear them down to put up a parking lot.I grew up in Hamilton Ontario where the steel industry and manufacturing,as well as the railroads created an abundance of factories and structures that defined our landscape---sadly,most of these landmarks,including the roundhouses of the CNR and TH&B are now just fading memories.
My primary focus in photography has always been train related and I have neglected taking pictures of buildings ---until now.This thread has inspired me to look beyond the tracks and opened my eyes to look at all the potential in the older buildings and structures that Hamilton possesses.
