The High Line-Part One

The High Line Park has an entrance near the new Whitney Museum.

A stairway leads up to the elevated park that was once an industrial railroad that ran along the Hudson River.  Looking east is the Chelsea section of New York City.

The first section of the park was completed in 2009, with other sections opening in later years until the last portion was finished in 2014.

It is 1.45 miles of pathways bordered on both sides with lush vegetation.

This is an American Smoke Tree (Cotinus obovatus), a plant native to the Eastern United States.

In June many of the plants are blooming.
