One of my must-sees during my September 2012 trip to New York City was The Highline.The Highline is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side.*

Beautiful views……

Deliberately designed plantings……

What’s not to love about a NYC plank?

More beautiful views……

Kevin (I think that was his name!) hard at work keeping everything beautiful.

He took time out to explain a lot about The Highline.

I think Hurricane Sandy created quite a bit of repair work for Kevin and his co-workers.
