From Wikipedia: The High Line is a 1-mile New York City linear park built on a 1.45-mile section of the former elevated freight railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway. The High Line Park currently runs from Gansevoort Street, one block below West 12th Street, in the Meatpacking District, up to 30th Street, through the neighborhood of Chelsea to the West Side Yard, near the Javits Convention Center.

The recycling of the railway into an urban park has spurred real estate development in the neighborhoods which lie along the line.
------
I walked the High Line last week. It is a very beautiful oasis three stories above the bustling city. The gardens are luscious and the views remarkable.

  This one made me do a double take! Love the urban-ness (or would that be "urbanity") of the scene, and the comp is so cool -- a giant man looking around from the back of the building -- hence the double take!

  I agree with the others, Michelle -- it's great to tour with you and what a wonderfully strong backdrop for this bit of nature you have shown us here. Great textures and bold colors and composition. The black and white billboard in the midst of the buildings is terrific.

  Re: Marilyn's comment, "I cannot believe it Michelle..." Take a look at Marilyn's post today, entitled: "Live Charged." Neither of us was aware of the other's post at the time of our respective postings. Mine was shot in NYC and hers in Venice Beach California. Unbelievable!

  I have been reading about this place for awhile now, Michelle, and this is such a an engaging capture! Love the juxtaposition of the gritty buildings, the greenery and golden grasses, and the large B&W billboard! It's on my list of things to do in NYC next time I'm back there.

  Very intriguing image Michelle! Combination of the billboard, grasses and the building is almost surreal. Your framing is very creative too.
