A moment captured from UN service in Southern Lebanon, October 28, 1992.
Standing at a checkpoint in Lower Kaoukaba near the border of the UN-controlled area, a Norwegian peacekeeper keeps watch through the night.
The beam of a flashlight cuts through the darkness — a symbol of vigilance, responsibility, and the shared spirit of peacekeeping under the United Nations.
Behind every mission, there are countless stories of courage, discipline, and quiet determination.

The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan's largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line works in partnership with the City of New York to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park.
The project gained the City's support in 2002. The High Line south of 30th Street was donated to the City by CSX Transportation Inc. in 2005. The design team of landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, created the High Line's public landscape with guidance from a diverse community of High Line supporters. Construction on the park began in 2006. The first section, from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street, is projected to open in June 2009.

James Corner Field Operations will oversee phase 2 of development (from 20th to 30th streets) which is scheduled to be completed Spring 2011:

More about High Line Park:
A couple days after Section 2 of the High Line opened. Now the park extends from the Meatpacking District (south of 14th Street) to 30th Street, near the Hudson Yards.
Looking north towards the curve that terminates Section 2 at 30th Street. The skyline is courtesy the void of Hudson Yards that lie beyond the park.
From a preview walk of the third phase of the High Line (around the Hudson Yards, between 30th and 34th Streets), just before its completion in September 2014. A comparison to my previous visit, in October 2012, reveals the scope of the transformations by James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, et al. As well, one can see the interesting and occasionally quite successful steps taken along this stretch to exploit the greater width of the right-of-way, incorporating more of the original tracks and pseudo-original plantings and artifacts as a parallel course of look-but-don't-touch landscape. Along the way we also get some views of miscellaneous construction around the Hudson Yards. My quick-and-dirty remarks on the High Line project in general can be found here.
Thanks to the Friends of the High Line for the opportunity to take this tour.

Hurricane Irene Aftermath in New Jersey.
This CBP Officer was stranded in her home with parents after the Hurricane Irene. She had some flooding in her basement. She did not answer her recall and had no electricity and could not even power her cell phone. To her gratitude and relief a CBP emergency team showed up at her door with emergency supplies which included a generator.

Excerpt from review about the High Line on StructureHub.com:
After ten years of advocacy, fundraising, and cheer-leading, the vision of Josh David and Robert Hammond, co-founders of Friends of the High Line, has been realized (that is, Phase I from Gansevoort to West 20th Street) in the form of a new sliver-like park floating above New York City’s concrete corridors and nestled in rusted steel. Derelict for decades, the elevated railway that once delivered freight to scores of warehouses had little going for it when a push for demolition gained speed. Luckily David and Hammond met and came upon their idea of new parkland that would add needed green space, but also preserve the somewhat gritty - or lived-in - feel of the Westside neighborhood the High Line once trundled through. Tearing it down would have eliminated a rusting hulk of shade, but doing so would also have created an (literally) unobstructed path to generic redevelopment projects having little feel for the community’s history and identity.
