On a hot afternoon we went to look at plants and grasses in Hudson River Park.org Manhattan, New York City. Here are some flowers.
Hudson Flowers
Hudson River Greenway
Gansevoort Peninsula
Gansevoort Peninsula — Hudson River Park was recently constructed and opened in 2023. Us the link to see more pictures. The salt marsh is not looking very healthy. I hope it survives.
“Did you know: Manhattan once had a well-used Thirteenth Avenue? It ran from Bloomfield Street on what is now the Gansevoort Peninsula north to 23 Street. The area was later excavated to permit longer ships to dock without blocking the navigation channel. Today, only a one-block stretch of Thirteenth Avenue remains on the Gansevoort Peninsula. This block has been incorporated into the design for the Gansevoort Peninsula.”
Hudson Greenway and St Luke’s Garden
January 2, 2015 was a Foggy, rainy day. I made a few photographs along the Hudson River Greenway below 14th Street and at St Luke’s Garden. A bit of processing in Lightroom, Photoshop and on1 brought out what I saw and felt.

Hudson at Sunset
Sunset at the end of my street in Manhattan, October 22, 2015. Some of these I stitched together in Photoshop.
Autumn Plants
I have been making photographs since our return to NYC in September and part of October, 2015. These were made at three locations: The Hudson River Greenway, The High Line, and Central Park, New York City. I enhanced the autumnal colors and shading in Lightroom and Photoshop. Softening or graying the greens and darkening the background puts the focus on the flowers and reds.
