Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology in HDR

Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology in HDR. This is one of those hidden gems in life that the City of Hamilton has to offer. I had the good fortune to spend many years volunteering in the Museum of Steam and Technology in Hamilton, Ontario. The Museum is still open to the public and if you’d like to take a step back in time and see some truly amazing machines in action, then you’ve got to stop in and take a look for yourself. They just don’t make machines with this kind of craftsmanship anymore. Here are a few of my favorite images. Please enjoy your visit.
