The last time I was in New York, the High Line had not been opened yet nor had I ever even heard of it. It still might have been a deserted elevated rail yard. On my way heading to the High Line, I could already see some parts of it. |
I started strolling through it enjoying various kinds of flowers, grasses, sedges, shrubs, and trees. Since bicycles and dogs are not allowed on the High Line, it was also safe here. |
As I explored this lovely linear park, it was hard to imagine that it was once the elevated freight railroad... |
|
There was a protruding viewing area from which I could gaze over the High Line and people enjoying it. |
This old building was built in late 19th century. It is now being used as a hotel, called "The High Line Hotel." |
