High Line Park

On Sunday Sarah and I decided to go to a new park that opened 4 weeks ago. It is called the High Line. It was originally constructed in the 1930s, to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan's streets. Naturally, there was a line to get into the park.
First we waited across the street.Then we wound our way through this line. We did only wait about 10-15 minutes.


Here is one of the views of the Hudson. I really like sailboats.
The incorporated some old railroad tracks into the landscape. It was very pretty.
Here is some more cool landscape.
A section of the park has some wooden benches you can sit on. This is a nice 2 person lounge. There are single lounges that actually have railroad wheels and are on a railroad track so you can push them together. Sarah and I sat here long enough to put sunscreen on. It was a really hot day.
A view of some buildings with neat architecture. I took a whole bunch of different pictures of the blue building.
A view of the Statue of Liberty far off in the distance.
Here is stadium like seating that has a big glass window looking down onto the street. We sat here a while with all the other people and watched the cars pass under us.
There is the glass window from the street view. It was a really nice park.
