The Highline

Happy Mother's Day, all you Mothers out there! It's not a very springy Mother's Day here in Ithaca. In fact, it snowed this morning (no joke.) But it was summery and hot last weekend in NYC. In honor of our mommas, here are some beautiful pics we took while visiting The Highline.


The Highline is an elevated public park that was recently built atop an abandoned elevated railway line on the west side of Manhattan, above 10th Avenue. Here's some more history - it's really worth reading!


All the changes to the Highline are very new.

The first segment (Ganesvoort St - 20th St) only opened to the public a year ago. Can't wait to watch it's progress as this new NYC landmark evolves...

The views are stunning.

Hard to capture on film - just visit!
