Phase 2 of the High Line opened last Wednesday and I walked it with a few friends...it was beyond everyone's expectations. I went back yesterday and took pictures until my camera's battery died. The sights change every few feet, from novel views of the familiar skyline, to Alice in Wonderland-like passages through post-modern buildings. And walking the structure itself is like walking an English Garden along the third floor of the city. Magnificent.
These pictures are great. I can't wait to get over there and walk the high line,
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I don't think my sister, who lives in NYC, has seen much of this, but I wish she has. I won't make it to NYC for a while, but, please, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Are you aware of the Spectra pipeline, “New Jersey-New York Expansion Project,” which is due to, UH, "end" at the Highline?

"Should the pipeline or vault explode on the Manhattan side of the Hudson, the potential fire radius would encompass three historic districts... as well as the massively popular High Line."
