   As it turned out this was a mini-meeting between Paul (4paul) and Harald (waldo_posth), beginning on the late afternoon of Monday, August 12, 2019, at the Northern end (Javits Conventioon Center) of the Highline, ending, after sunset, on the banks of Hudson river.

First the unavoidable mini-group shot:
#1

The Highline offers elevated viewpoints, usually a crowd of people moving along, an increasing number of recently built or refurbished, expensive, and architecturally spectacular residential quarters - which are immediately adjacent to it. In Hell's Kitchen, where the Highline ends, still some meatpacking operations exist - but the Highline has accelerated a process of gentrification that has been changing this neighborhood since quite some time (I visited it the last time 2007 when Stella McCartney just had opened her store in Hell's Kitchen).

So that's my mixture: people, abstracts, views.
