Walking the High Line in Manhattan

Mazie and I hiked the length of the High Line in Manhattan today. We started on 30th street and walked south to the end. It was a delightful way to spend the morning, and a nearly perfect photo walk opportunity. It was a great place to exercise the iPhone XS camera.

Tall golden grasses lining the High Line path with visitors walking among them and modern glass buildings rising alongside

Black sculptural arch of bare tree branches rising from tall ornamental grasses on the High Line, Manhattan buildings and street visible beyond

Colorful abstract metal sculptures on poles rise above ornamental grasses in front of a concrete building facade

Large white IRONWOODLAND letters rise above wildflowers and native grasses on the High Line elevated park, with brick buildings behind.

Crowd of visitors sitting on tiered wooden steps on the High Line overlooking 10th Avenue with Manhattan buildings and street murals behind them

Overgrown railroad tracks with rusted rails and gravel ballast weaving between young trees and dense green vegetation

Other times on the High Line: 2012, 2018, 2023 (Tyler and I), 2023 (Tammy and I), and 2023 (Family).
