New York City Waterfalls



This is an ace installation by German Artist Olafur Eliasson in NewYork.
A series of waterfalls set up around NY. My favourite is the one under Brooklyn Bridge.

This is what the wonderful Wikipedia has to say:

New York City Waterfalls is an art installation by artist Olafur Eliasson, in collaboration with the Public Art Fund, consisting of four man-made waterfalls placed around New York City along the East River.[1][2] At $15.5 million, it is the most expensive public arts project since Christo and Jeanne-Claude's installation of The Gates in Central Park.[3][2] The waterfalls officially began flowing on June 26, 2008. They will run from 7 am to 10 pm (under illumination after sunset), until October 13, 2008
