Diana Mini using bulb setting (Lomography Chrome 100 X-Pro)
One place I marked as completely necessary to visit while in NYC was the High Line. I had read about it & was intrigued by the urban re-utilisation project & also the thrilling views from it's various platforms & overpasses.
The story behind the High line is a fascinating one. Here are are a few facts about the High Line:
It was built between 1929 and 1934.
It cost over $130 million in 1930 dollars, equating to more than $2 billion today.
In 1980 the last train runs on the High Line, pulling three carloads of frozen turkeys.
April 2006, construction begins on Section 1 (Gansevoort Street to 20th Street)
2008, Landscape Construction begins on Section 1, with construction and installation of pathways, access points, seating, lighting, and planting.
June 9, 2009, Section 1 (Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street) opens to the public.
June 8, 2011, Section 2 (West 20th Street to West 30th Street) opens to the public.
You can discover more about the High Line at thehighline.org.

Your photos here (and the other ones, especially) are spectacular! The lights are phenomenal, and it makes me ache a little to have my own Diana Mini. ;)
