Vote Now: Help Select the Next High Line Print [1]

Submitted by Erika Harvey on

The High Line Flickr Pool is an great resource for beautiful photographs of the park. One of these images, taken by five contributors to the Flickr Pool, will be selected as the next High Line Print.
 

With more than 1,500 contributors, the High Line Flickr Pool [2] gathers some of the best photographs of the park. The images are displayed in a rotating gallery on our Web site, giving High Line fans from afar, and those New Yorkers stuck in the office a great way to keep track of park life.

This year we are expanding our merchandise program [3], and among the new offerings will be frame-worthy prints of the High Line. When looking for photographs to be featured as prints, of course we knew where to go.

We’ve selected five of our favorite horticulture images from the Flickr Pool, and we need your help picking one of them to reproduce as a High Line Print.

Follow us after the jump to see the full-size images and vote for your favorite.

VISIT FACEBOOK NOW TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE [4]

Help choose the next High Line Print by visiting our Facebook album [4] and “liking” your favorite images.

By voting, you will be entered to win a new High Line Hooded Sweatshirt. [5]

On Thursday, March 22, we’ll close voting and announce the winning image with the most “likes.”

Then, with permission from the photographer, the winning image will be offered as a print from the High Line Web Shop and on the High Line at our Merch Cart.

All purchases will support the ongoing maintenance and operations of the High Line.

“To me, the High Line represents an unparalleled fusion of human creation and nature, and seeing bees busily pollinating while urban life bustles all around them, shows that the coexistence of man and nature is not only possible, but is succeeding admirably here. This is just one reason that I'm grateful that such a unique and beautiful spot is practically in my back yard.” – Quote & photo by Phil Vachon [7]

“This photo was taken about a week after section 1 of the High Line opened on June 14th 2009 on a bench just north of The Standard, New York. It was a very relaxing spot to go and sit on the bench and just watch the wild grass blow around in the wind with the Empire State Building in the background.” - Quote & photo by Justin Lintz [9]
 
"One of my favorite times on yhe High Line is when the sun goes down and the lights come up. For a few hours at the end of the day, the plantings sparkle and glow, giving an enchanting, ethereal quality to the park." - Quote & photo by Joan Garvin [10]
