Workers finishing up a recessed special feature, which in my mind is a sunken play pit for children, though I can't actually recall if that's what it ended up being.
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.

Prince George’s councilmember Sue V. Mills (right) talks to a union protester at a county budget hearing April 24, 1979.
About 2,000 union workers and other Prince George’s residents attended the hearing at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Md. to boo, hoot and give catcalls as County Executive Lawrence J. Hogan’s budget was presented to the County Council.
Hogan himself did not show up for the hearing.
“Mr. Hogan is trying to rape the budget, swinging TRIM as is club and using fiscal austerity as his shield, but we are a resilient group and …we are ready and willing to fight on Mr. Hogan’s terms,” said Jim Shearer, the executive director of school bus drivers and support personnel ACE AFSCME 2250.
During the hearing, 70 public works employees marched in wearing yellow helmets and took seats on stage behind the County Council. After 30 minutes of trying to get the group to leave, the Council went ahead wit the hearing.
The county employees weren’t the only ones testifying against the budget: local officials, school board members, PTA presidents, advocates for the disabled and others blasted the reductions.
The budget was first prepared after the Tax Reform Initiative in Maryland (TRIM) was passed during the 1978 election. The measure capped property tax increases during a period of double-digit inflation, decimated the county and school budgets.
Maryland counties have few local revenue sources permitted by the state other than the property tax.
The county unions would go on to stage a work-to-the-rule protest and four local of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees unions would stage an 11-day strike the following year against Hogan’s labor policies.
Sue V. Mills was a controversial Prince George’s County white leader who gained fame during protests against court-ordered school busing to achieve racial desegregation in the county.
She was later elected to the school board and served as chair. She served four terms on the County Council before being defeated in 1994 by Wayne Curry when she ran for county executive.
She was known for her conservative political views and for her striking appearance with bleached blonde hair drawn up into a bun.

A Workers’ Memorial is to be created and located on the west side of the River Ness as an important feature of the River Connections public art project being promoted in Inverness city centre.
The Highland Council’s Inverness City Arts Project is matching the £5,000 being raised by the Inverness and District Trades Union Council for a sculpture to commemorate workers who have died or have been injured in the workplace.
A location and gathering place at the Friar’s Shott, near Wells Street, has been identified for the memorial, which will bear the simple message: Remember the Dead: Fight for the Living, including a Gaelic translation.
Councillor Ken Gowans, Chair of ICarts, Councillor Fraser Parr, representing Inverness and District Trades Union Council and Councillor Richard Laird, Chair of the Council’s Joint Consultation Group (Administration/Manual and Crafts Workers), met on site earlier this week to discuss the project. The partners will be seeking ideas from a number of artists before choosing the design of the sculpture or feature that bears the memorial message.
Councillor Gowans said: “The Friar’s Shott is a key element of River Ness Arts Project and I am delighted to announce this funding and partnership with the Trades Union Council to incorporate the Workers’ Memorial in the scheme. The memorial will become a landmark on the river that will provide a dignified focal point and gathering place that will enable people to pay their respects to the fallen. It is right the River Ness Artworks reflect the feelings of the ordinary folk and I am privileged to be in a position to help by tying it into the other art projects for the river. Credit must go to Councillor Parr for initiating this memorial.”
Councillor Parr said: “The purpose of the memorial is to provide a peaceful space for relatives, friends and colleagues to use, in remembering those whose lives have been tragically lost in the course of their work – whether in emergency, or routine circumstances.
“This would include for example, the oil industry, engineering, construction, agriculture, sawmills, fishing, transport and various emergency services including Fire and Rescue, lifeboat and ambulance crews and the police while answering a call in the line of duty. Our first service was held during the week of the Bangladesh tragedy, with the anniversary of the Piper Alpha just past and the recent helicopter catastrophe south of Shetland.
“Many communities, abroad and throughout the U.K. already support such dedicated workers’ memorials, providing a focus for remembrance on International Workers’ Memorial Day, which is marked on the 28th April and is supported by the U.K. and Scottish Government, local authorities and others worldwide.
“The Council has been very supportive and very generous indeed and we are determined that the end result will be a real credit to the highlands as a whole and a memorial of international significance. It will also be to my knowledge the only one in Gaelic and English.”
Inverness City Arts is making progress with the implementation of the public arts programme, which is associated with the River Ness Flood Alleviation and Streetscape Programme.

Iron Workers from Local 7 are on the job at the Brigham and Women's construction site. It was pretty cold but I am sure that these guys have worked through a lot worse. Some of the pictures have good views of the workers' safety equipment.

Finished building the mobile worker I was working on. It isn't supposed to be a perfect replica, sorta my take on it. Plus there's the modular segments that I want to incorporate into my mocs.
Anyways, suspension on all three tires work, and there is a small removable block in the top where you can place another minifig. The cockpit holds a minifig too.
