Photo of the Day: Walking Up (or Down) The Hill.


Taken April 4, 2011 in Philadelphia, PA

There are a lot of hills in northwest Philly.  So if you come here, bring very comfortable shoes and be prepared to get your lower body workout on.  The lady caught my eye because she looked like she was having a bit of a time walking up the hill, but I didn’t want to get too close.  The real centerpiece here in this image, is the hill.  Walking around here is not for the faint of heart.
