One of the funniest things about visiting the High Line is that there are so many people taking pictures of it.
Not touristy "look at me in New York City on the High Line" pictures, but the kind I like to take, the ones where you pretend you know anything at all about photography. I have a sneaking suspicion everyone is taking the pictures to put on the internet, when they write on their blog about their trip to New York, a highlight of which was the High Line.
The thing about it, though, is that the High Line was a highlight of my trip to New York. Lisel pointed out that the gardens were natural without trying to deny that they were urban; it really was the perfect combination.
(Also, the homemade chocolate-dipped mint ice cream bar that I bought from the Lily Lolly, who has a cart right on the path, was delicious.)
(Seriously- is there any chance that any highlight of any trip I take wouldn't involve food?)
Pretty pictures sweetie!
ReplyDeleteFOOD is GOOD and that mint chip chocolate dipped ice cream bar sounds heavenly!! YUM!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! i try to remind myself whilst taking photos in public that others have no idea that i'm a horrible photographer and i just need to look like i know what i'm doing. {and totally jealous of that ice cream bar!!}
ReplyDeleteWow, what gorgeous shots of the High Line!!
ReplyDeleteI saw the High Line in a magazine a few weeks ago, and it looks amazing! You're so lucky that you got to go visit it. It looks like my kind of place, and I would definitely be taking photos for my blog if I was there, in a totally cool, "no, I'm not taking photos for my blog" way!!

the high line is fantastic. so glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI'd heard about this, now I'm definitely going to check it out, in person, when I'm in NY next month. Thanks for the fab photos!
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to visit the High Line this summer and just loved it -- especially those lounge chairs you can roll around a bit. If I had my sunblock, I might have just spent all afternoon up there.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to a lecture by the people who designed the Highline this friday. Can't wait!
