Walking the High Line





Today, I sneaked onto the High Line, the 70 year old freight line that once ran through the lower West Side, then closed in the 70s. Here's a few pics -- watch the link to the right "Walking the High Line," for more to come....

Beautiful perspective on the first 2 shots...I find it sad to see an unused train line.

Thanks so much for visiting my site and your nice comments, Abu and Abe! I will be posting tons of photots of the high line on my other blog, Walking the High Line. And it won't be unused long...the whole thing (20 blocks)is being tuirned into a park.

Fine photos, nice perspectives, and neat idea to include the feet and shoes at the end! I think it will make a great park. Happy 4th!

Ken, I love the first photo! Why is it called the high line? I like that you put yourself in the collection.

Nice kicks, but I see you're still wearing khakis... that's so 90's.

I like the history and images of things that we abandon. Abandonment is such a sorry thing to have happen to either people or places.
