NYC Waterfalls taking shape under Brooklyn Bridge
Artist Olafur Eliasson's big public art project for the summer -- "New York City Waterfalls" -- continues to take shape along the East River.
NewYorkology contributor Vidiot took these pictures Sunday from the Mary A. Whalen tanker as it was tugged from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Red Hook.
The four waterfalls, which could start flowing as early as late June are positioned at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge (on the Brooklyn side,) at Manhattan's Pier 35, between Brooklyn's piers 4 and 5 (where the floating pool was docked last summer,) and at Governor's Island, facing Manhattan's Staten Island Ferry terminal.
The 90- to 120-foot waterfalls will flow from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day -- and will be lit after sunset. They'll come down mid-October.
