The third one is really soft and I almot didn't include it. But ...

I like the third shot the best for a couple of reasons, the heat waves and accompanying smoke from the locomotives and the mini waterfall. Thanks for sharing.

By 1995, the High Line may have deteriorated to a tri-weekly operation. Up to Bieber one day, back the next.
