High Line with Whitney Museum

I went downtown at midday today, to see the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Whitney. It's excellent; the  spacious high galleries on the 5th floor (parts were also elsewhere)  provide wonderful space, especially for the many large works. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a widely creative artist with influence well beyond pop art (the conventional characterization of his style).
 
This image looks to the southwest past the High Line to the Whitney's viewing terraces--the highest is on the 7th floor.  Built on a former elevated railway line, the High Line is a "1.45-mile-long greenway featuring 500+ species of plants and trees.  Its southern end is next to the east end of the Whitney on Gansevoort Street.  In the afternoon we took a NJ Transit train from Penn Station to Little Silver, NJ, for our usual Thanksgiving festivities at my son Raphael's house (here's last year).
