I agree fully with Mike, I have posted several B+W shots before and enjoy shooting B+W. However, I did not think that my results were good enough to post. The lighthouse itself is in a bad location; and, as I said before, the results were not spectacular.
Anyway, with all this discussion about the lighthouse (Burlington Canal) I might as well make a report on it's condition.
A local group, the Beach Canal Lighthouse Group, is working towards it's preservation. So far we arranged the clean-out of 50+ years of bird droppings from inside the tower, have boarded up all openings to prevent further damage and have hired a company to do a study of the tower for aid in it's restoration and preservation (I cannot give details, I was away during the last meeting). Our original plan was to have the lighthouse restored for it's 150th birthday (Christmas 2008), but those plans are no longer possible because of several delays. The City of Hamilton approved up to 50,000 dollars for funding for use in the preservation. Progress is good and the lighthouse is well on it's way to being preserved.
The lighthouse is located behind a lift bridge beside the Burlington/Hamilton Bay Canal in the corner of the bridge control building. Behind the lighthouse towers the Burlington Skyway Bridge.
This image is from Russ Rowlett's site (taken by C.W. Bash), and was shot from a boat going through the canal. This is an angle that I won't have access to until this summer. I will most likely take a stop at Port Dalhousie tomorrow on the way to Buffalo for the day. Dalhousie is in a much nicer location so I will probably post at least one photo to satisfy all of you rowdy Nikonians and "Canonians" and Sony haters
