As I was walking through down the High Line, I noticed lots of nature that was surrounding the high line. Even though this is an elevated park, it is a park which requires lots and lots of greenery. Some specific parts of the High Line are more green than others, but this gives the humans of the High Line a chance to feel relaxed and enjoy nature aside from all of the concrete that the city surrounds them in. This is what makes the High Line so unique, because of the nature intertwined with an urban elevated park. Without the nature, the park would have no life to it, literally.
Along the High Line, I noticed lots of new shiny high rises and condos. They are everywhere along the High Line, along with lots of construction of them. Besides this area of the city, there is constant luxurious buildings being built throughout New York City, but with these buildings near the high line it ruins the high line in a sense. Who would want to live near a park where there is constant flow of people? But then again people with the money that want to pay for these beautiful buildings probably only care about the building and how the quality of it is. But then again to look at it in another perspective, these buildings aren’t distracting, they actually are quite aesthetically pleasing and along with that, they fit with the aesthetic of the high line,
but still seem a little over powering to the elevated park.
