Every now and then you can find the High Line almost deserted. My friend and I found it that way at the end of a rain storm.
From the Highline park one can see murals and billboards hanging up on a few of the surrounding buildings.This one is on Gansevoort St,located at one end of the 1.4- mile railway.The hand painted billboard/mural is part of an ongoing exhibition at the Whitney Museum (also on Gansevoort St next to the Highline) that began November 23rd.The work is called Before Now After (Mama,Mummy and Mamma) by Nigerian-born female artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby who now lives in Los Angeles.The work explores the artist's relationship with her family (in this case her sister,mother,and grandmother) as well as the cultural complications of the dual worlds in which she lives.The elaborate objects arranged on the table suggest a still life composition.The hallmark of Miss Crosby's compositions is the use of small photographic images as if they were swatches of fabric.She photocopies pictures from various sources such as wedding photos and magazines (on wall and chair) and transfers them to paper using acetone solvent.The result is a memory-book textile that evokes the feeling of nostalgia, rootedness,homesickness,and loss.For her other works see bottom link whitney.org/Exhibitions/NjidekaAkunyiliCrosby njidekaakunyili.com/
It might not be obvious at first but running across the center of this photo is the Highline Trail. Can you see it? Two hikers have stopped near the cemter of the photo. The man in the black jacket is taking a photo of the woman in a white jacket. Can you see them? Visible also is a rope along the trail so hikers can hang on if they choose. Highland trail which traverses the Garden Wall is one of the most popular trails in Montana’s Glacier National Park. With sections like this that have shear drops off beneath the path, the trail is also one of the most hair raising. Here the trail is carved into the cliffside. It is a thrilling hike but is not for those who fear heights. This picture was taken from a pretty good distance as I was on the overlook at Oberlin Bend on the Going-to-the-Sun Highway.

First time back to the Highline Park in NYC since first seeing it in 2014. What a change in 7 years. It was wide open then (and, yes, a sunny day). Now, everything is closed in, the vegetation grown, everything built up with high-rises right up to the line. No more open space or views to let the mind wonder (and, yes, It was gloomy day).
All of these shots are wide-angle shots with the 16-35 lens.

Today was one of those days - low temperatures, low humidty and breezy. Great day for a walk on the High Line
The start of the Highline Trail from Logan's Pass, in Glacier National Park.
I only walked about a mile on this trail because we were limited on time, but WOW...it's on my bucket list and I can't wait to go back and hike the whole thing!
The road below the trail is Going to the Sun Road, which is the most amazing road I've ever been on. The views are constant, and just incredible.
The Highline Trail is a popular hiking trail located in Glacier National Park, Montana. The trail starts at Logan Pass Visitor Center and stretches for approximately 11.8 miles (19 km) along the Continental Divide. It follows the Garden Wall, offering hikers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and glaciers.
The Highline Trail is considered a moderate to strenuous hike, with an elevation gain of about 800 feet (244 meters). It is a narrow trail that hugs the mountainside, so be prepared for some steep drop-offs and exposure to heights. Along the way, you can see a variety of wildlife, including mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and even the occasional grizzly bear. One of the highlights of the Highline Trail is to hike out to the Grinnell Glacier Overlook. This side trail adds an additional 1.6 miles (2.6 km) round trip.
While we hiked to it, one bear was approaching to the trail ahead of us, it stopped dozens of hikers. We waited for half hour, the bear moved on the trail, blocked up/down hikers… They were all patient waiting for the bear passing by. We returned after half hour later due to one of our group members was not comfort going ahead. Here is the view showcasing the rugged beauty of Glacier National Park.
