I’ve you haven’t been able to tell yet, I’m up on the High Line a fair bit. I never remember there being so many chairs and tables in the Chelsea Market Passage.

This one in the foreground is my favorite.

A photographer taking a picture of a photographer, taking a picture of a photographer, taking a picture of a photographer, taking a picture of something off to the left. Wrap your head around that.

There’s some new art on the High Line. Brooklyn-based artist Carol Bove was specially commissioned by Friends of the High Line to create Caterpillar, an installation of seven sculptures dotted around the landscape on the High Line at the Rail Yards. Now through May 2014, you can reserve free tickets for public walks.
Unlike most art installations that I’ve visited, Bove leaves the viewer to their own devices in understanding and interpreting the art, giving them with no information or background about the individual pieces. I don’t think they even have names. It will be interesting to see how the wild plants grown up and around the art as the seasons progress.

The Callahan Mine was a zinc/copper mine that was shut down and abandoned in the 1972. Not much of it remains, especially since the open pit is now the tidal lake you see in the photo here. The EPA finally came in last year and started clearing out all the contamination. Unfortunately, that also means they’ve put fences up so I can’t go galavanting around the mine on my ATV anymore.
I probably shouldn’t spend as much time here as I do considering the dangerous levels of PCB’s, lead, and arsenic which the EPA has deemed unsafe for even occasional human contact. Oops.

Here’s a Maine shot. This is a bit old, but I finally got around to processing it. I felt like I needed something to break up all the High Line photos. I’ve got another big batch of them to edit from yesterday so some variety is nice.

The heavy raindrops were knocking the flowers off the lilac bush.

It’s a sunny day today but we’ve had lots of rain the last two days. Having some English heritage in me, I love the rain (as it happens to rain frequently in England) and I love shooting in it. Just be sure to have a towel ready when you finally get back inside.

As the night began to wind down, out came the pong table.
