Water flowing at Brooklyn piers' NYC Waterfalls

Artist Olafur Eliasson's NYC Waterfalls are getting closer to their official start date -- June 26 -- but a few lucky folks have been catching glimpses of tests of the water falling. This morning's winner was Travis Noyes, the vice president of sales and marketing for the New York Water Taxi. (NewYorkology ran into Noyes on a Red Hook pier this morning and he sent over these pictures to use.)

NY Water Taxi is one of the companies that will be offering boat tours of the four waterfalls. One is located at Governors Island, one's at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side, one's on a Manhattan pier just north of the Manhattan Bridge and the one that got turned on for testing today is located below the Brooklyn Heights promenade.

All four with be turned on daily through October 13th.
