Every Tuesday and Thursday, since the early 70's, maintenance worker Alberto Cassini has walked across the artificial grass to the little door and climbed the sixty steps to rewind the clock's key.

Well, rather than a photowalk, this one was more of a "photoride", as my buddie Barry McKay (aka Franky2step) and I rode the normally out-of-service elevator (the TARDIS was in the shop for a tune-up) to the top of the vacant Stelco Tower in downtown Hamilton. The light, reflections and view were fascinating. "Steel Town" usually gets a pretty bad rap when it comes to its more aesthetically appealing qualities but, one observer was noted as saying, "The place don't look too bad from up here."

You can check out Barry's awesome photos "From the 21st Floor" here.
