1. Abandoned railway line became a park on the hill, which is better known as the High Line.

3. Perhaps a kiss can distract us from the beautiful species on Tenth Avenue, which designers have made a major focal point of High Line Park. Their design has transformed an ordinary bridge in an extraordinary urban amphitheater with wooden benches, down to the window overlooking the city traffic.
4. Summer sky and bright sundress girl illuminate shadowed "long stairs" at the entrance to the High Line at 14th Street, which got its name because of the extended platform between the rails.
5. The building of "Caledonia", with its walls of glass, is one of many residential houses built along the High Line.
6. Some of the High Line inspired to walk around the city, but the shopping mall, "Chelsea" is more like a balcony, situated with views of the city and the Hudson Zatoka. Here you can relax while watching the glowing colors of the sky at sunset.
7. Painting Valerie Hegarty "Autumn in the Hudson Valley" plays a role in the background of fashion shootings on West 20th Street, where it ends the updated part of the park, and begins a part called "Ticket to Chelsea."
8. Dance group Naomi Goldberg Haas performed a dance called "Autumn transition" in the shopping mall "Chelsea", which is the indoor part of the High Line, for public art and special events.
9. Truck offers visitors with ice cream treats in the streets Gansvort and Washington, which are the end of the High Line in the south.
10. Above the bustling 14th Street young stargazers carefully consider the sky during the meeting, which suits the club of amateur astronomers. The group meets on the High Line every Tuesday night from April to October.
11. The High Line stretches along the busy district of Chelsea Avenue, past the undulating modernist buildings of Frank Gehry and Jean Nouvel, luminous left. Gehry building lower and Nouvel - higher.

13. Not so long ago, the High Line is himself scruffy area covered with weeds and wild plants. The third and last part of the park, located to the north to 30th street is still in such a state.
14. Do not repaired the northern part of the High Line turns west, resulting in the construction of stretches almost to the Zatoka Hudson. The railway company CSX still owns this site, but the organization "Friends of the High Line 'hopes that one day she will be a part of the park. If that happens, then watch the fireworks from here July 4, will not only employees, but also ordinary residents of New York City.
