the high line: you really need more focus


This abandoned stretch of elevated tracks hasn't been used since 1980. Before their downfall, these tracks (built in the early 1930s) made way for the trains that provided New York City with fresh produce. Now a garden of sorts grows between the rusty tracks and faded planks in the form of weeds and other odd plants. It is a prime location for bolt collectors.

     
     
     
Heading down the tracks   Looking back towards the Javits Center
     
     
 
That barbed wire isn't working!   Now you've seen it from every angle
     
     
 
Nah.
A ladder? We'll be going over another way.    
     
     
 
A garden on the tracks   Boo!
