Guess what, Folks. We're at the end of our October trip to America, leaving you with the High Line of New York City as we wave good-bye to a fabulous vacation. Just in time for the holidays!
It so happens this was at the end of our Columbia University day and the visit to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (last post). So, as you'd guess, this was late afternoon - early evening on our last full day in NYC.
Because it was approximately 8km south from the cathedral to the High Line,
we took the subway. How convenient!

And now we're talking about a one-mile walk along the former elevated
New York Central Railroad spur, where two of three phases are completed.
Talk about someone with vision for a run-down section of the city!
Talk about transformation! People from all over the world come to see it and walk it!
It's like a park in the sky....
...full of art and leisure and rest against new architectural wonders springing up everywhere.
It's breathing new investment-life into the city.
Look what you get to see while you take your walk!
On all sides, you look below or across to what's there,
some almost at arm's reach.
Wouldn't you be inspired to paint there?
And once back down on terra firma, world-famous icons are everywhere.
How can you not love New York City!
Many thanks to Robin who made all this possible for us.
We'd go back in a New-York minute!
