NYC Waterfalls pictures: Brooklyn Bridge makes four
The NYC Waterfalls don't officially debut until June 26, but all four of artist Olafur Eliasson's creations have been in test mode this week.
 Today is apparently the first day the water's been turned on at the waterfall situated directly under the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Brooklyn Bridge picture was sent to NewYorkology by Travis Noyes, the vice president of sales and marketing for the NY Water Taxi, which this week launched free shuttle service to Brooklyn's Ikea from Manhattan's Pier 14 at Wall Street.
Passengers on those boats have this week been treated to tests of the other three waterfalls: at Governors Island, below Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan's Pier 35.
 The four man-made waterfalls, which range in height from 90- to 120-feet tall, will be turned on daily through October 13. They'll run from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will be illuminated at night.
