Springtime on the High Line

The High Line is an elevated linear park on the West Side of Manhattan not far from the Hudson River. It was created along what was once a New York Central Railroad line. The old rail tracks are visible through much of the park. The first segment of the High Line was opened in 2009. It is maintained by New York City Parks and Recreation.

The photos below start at the southern end of the High Line on Gansevoort Street, near the Whitney Museum, and proceed north to 33rd Street in Hudson Yards. Along the route are several art installations.

Soft Power, Alex Da Corte
The Creation of the Creatures of Day and Night, Rosana Paulinho
The Sun is a Flame that Haunts the Night, Tai Shani

  4. The High Line is such a great use of the old rail line. Looks like a lovely spot to go for a stroll in NYC and enjoy a bit of nature and some art.
