High Line near the Western edge of New York City is probably the most ambitious and the best urban reconstruction for public space in recent memory anywhere in the world. High Line is an example how the city continues to reinvent itself. How the old gives way to the new. How public spaces can create the kind of tranquility which was hitherto a bailiwick of the suburbia. 

Here are some photos taken using the incredible Sigma 85mm 1.4/f lens. It is a relatively inexpensive alternative to Canon's own great 85mm lenses. I've had it for over two years now and it is absolutely the go-to lens for portrait photography. It is relatively light and the focuses quick and sharp. 

It is amazing how relatively expensive it has become for anyone to take semi-professional quality photos. All you really need is a decent DSLR, a decent lens, great location and decent piece of post-processing software. 

It is pretty much just point-and-shoot.
