One of the great things about Hamilton is that you can escape the city while still _in_ the city.

If you have a day and sturdy pair of shoes, you might walk the Bruce Trail from the foot of the Highway 8 hill in Dundas out to Stoney Creek - about eight hours of walking, mostly in wood and meadow, right across the city. It's astonishing.

And if you have a canoe or kayak, you can drop it at the launch at Princess Point (in Westdale) and head West toward Dundas and be in another world: trees and water and rushes and silence and birds (herons, egrets, gulls, eagles, hawks, terns, swans, geese, ducks). Here is a shot taken just below Westdale during a lunch-break paddle ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/moylek/3792...

Not that escape from Hamilton is the only way to enjoy Hamilton, of course :) But it's nice to have the option.
