High Line Park Autumn Bench - New York City Photography
A wooden bench on Manhattan's elevated High Line park sits between drifts of native autumn grasses, the abandoned West Side freight rail turned into 1.45 miles of linear park above Tenth Avenue. The line carried meat and produce above the streets from 1934 until the last train ran in 1980, and was slated for demolition before Friends of the High Line saved it; the park opened in three phases between 2009 and 2014. Designer James Corner and Dutch planting designer Piet Oudolf kept the original tracks visible and chose plants that thrive on a working rail bed. The bench faces the same direction the trains used to run. New York's most successful piece of adaptive reuse, in fall.
