On July 2, 2011, I decided to go to High Line Elevated Park that runs from 30th Street (between 10 and 11 Avenues) down to Gansevoort Street. After walking the entire park, I then went to Governors Island and Battery Park. On my way home, I stopped at a few R & N train stations to photograph the artwork on the walls. Below are the photos of the day. Enjoy!! |
| From 9th Avenue and 33rd Street. You can see Empire State Building (1), Madison Square Garden (2) and Main Post Ofifce (3). |
