Outdoors New York


New York's hi rise towers glitter in the sun, like diamonds which scream money - but not necessarily their own.

The once proud Chrysler building, now overshadowed by its neighbours

Atlas

Leggo Atlas

A church sunning itself

A fractured building

Hi rise tower with lamp post

Reflections

Reflections with sun spots
We visited the High Line, a New York City park, which is built on an elevated 1930s freight rail structure on Manhattan’s west side.  Built to remove freight trains from Manhattan’s streets, the High Line delivered milk, meat, produce, and raw and manufactured goods into upper floor loading docks of factories and ware houses.  The last train ran on the High Line in 1980 carrying a trainload of frozen turkeys.
