We have never visited the High Line, so since we were here in NYC on a lovely day in May with our cameras, we spent a delightful morning. The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight railroad line elevated above the streets of Manhattan's West Side. It is owned by the city and maintained by volunteers. It was founded in 1999 by community residents, Friends of the High Line, who fought against its demolition. It is approximately 1 1/2 miles long.
Embarking on our stroll along the High Line. We entered from Gansevoort Street, the first section which was restored.
I love the architectural design from existing buildings and walkways.
Always, the traffic below.
Many benches provide relaxing places to view native plants and flowers planted within the tracks.
A spectacular dogwood tree!
Many shady spots
Always remember to look up!
