The High Line in winter and spring – A photo essay

In the past 6 months, I’ve had the pleasure of taking two visits to the High Line specifically to spend time with family and take photos.  Right away, a visitor realizes how photo-friendly of a place it is.  Modern art emerges from verdant gardens; original locomotive rails weave in and out of the pedestrian walkway—all with the distinct urban backdrop of the city.  Here are a number of my favorite photos—watch as the season changes!
