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.

    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!

    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.
