The Highline is actually very user friendly. There are benches and chairs scattered throughout the entire distance. There is also an area with a sundeck containing wooden chaise lounges.

When I first read of this project years and years ago, I remembered walking in Paris through the similarly situated park near, I think, the Gare de Lyon. Both cities had the same idea, and each city treated the parks differently. Judging from the photographs here, the Paris park is a bit more formal but also more user-friendly with lots of benches and places to just sit. The High Line plantings appear to be very lush and untamed, unlike the tidiness of the Parisian plantings. I think that each is a good representation of its cultural surroundings

I wanted to see some more pictures of the High Line. All I got was an empty box with a small "x" in the upper left corner. Do I need some special program to get the picture?
