Morning Walk #42 - Penn Station & the High Line

Yikes! Who put Jesus in a cage?


74 degrees, gray, 90% humidity

It really seems that a lot of people must have taken this entire week off for vacation because they aren't on the streets

Heading to Penn Station to satisfy a craving.  Have been unable to find a simple chocolate glazed donut in my neighborhood for a week.  I don't often have donuts but I can't get it out of my mind...so it's a trip to Krispy Kreme

Quite a few people waiting for trains...commuters, travelers, a man in fatigues

The air conditioner is helped by huge fans around the waiting area

I score at the Krispy Kreme booth but will save it for later

An NYPD sergeant carrying a duffle bag emblazoned "NYPD Traffic Intelligence". Really?

Over to the High Line at 30th...still nasty construction at street level and it takes one traffic officer and 3 construction people to get pedestrians across the street

On the High Line level I can see the work being done on the last portion of the elevated railroad tracks.  This will be the only east-west portion of the High Line.  Still lots to do.

The greenery has grown in well since my last visit but a newly chopped off tree branch sits along the path

A man with his baby strapped to his chest walks back and forth

A woman drops to the ground and does some exercises...kind of in the way of the passing walkers

More recycling and trash bins and the neighboring construction gets higher floor by floor

Strange to walk back home without encountering hoards of kids on their way to school

Steps: 7495
