Stelco as seen from La Salle Park
September 17, 2018

It was about 30 C but with a nice breeze when I started this but the breeze soon died and it got quite warm.  It was humid which didn't help with my discomfort however it did prevent the acrylic paint from drying too fast.

I was standing in the La Salle Maina looking across at the steel companies in Hamilton.  These companies aren't pretty however they are no where near as dirty as they used to be and they helped build the city.  They put a lot of meals on a lot of tables over the years.  Mine was one of them.
