Views of High Line Park - a photo on Flickriver

            A view of the High Line’s narrow, curving ribbon from above. 
The greenway may look flat from this angle, but it isn’t—it’s layered with bushes, flowers, and trees, following the path of the former elevated railroad. My attention was caught by an extravagantly designed building with framed glass walls—High Line 23 by Neil M. Denari Architects, where each floor holds a single apartment. To its left stands Highline 519 at 519 West 23rd Street, designed by South African architect Lindy Roy—both buildings serving as bold visual landmarks for those strolling the park. 
The view is changing every few months with new buildings popping up like mushrooms on either side of the park. By now, it could already look different.
