A HUNGRY HILL



I took this picture of Hunger Hill in Halifax forty years ago. There are a few more trees about these days and some of the buildings have changed, but the snow is still here. I asked AI to explain the origin of the name, and it came up with a somewhat silly theory that the road was so steep, early travellers were reduced to hunger by climbing it! AI has obviously never visited Halifax if it thinks it's a steep hill. Now, climbing Beacon Hill, that might make you hungry.
