Photo Of The Day: June 29, 2008

You may have heard of the Olafur Eliasson's new project, “The New York City Waterfalls, which just debuted in New York. As The New York Times reported, "The work consists of four scaffoldings, ranging between 90 and 120 feet tall, dotted along the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Governors Island waterfronts. Water will cascade from these scaffoldings every day, beginning most mornings at 7 and will go silent each night at 10. The waterfalls will be lighted after the sun sets and will draw their water from the East River." One place the water will fall will be against the Brooklyn Bridge. I don't have any shots yet of the falls, but I do have this close-up shot of the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge, which provide an interesting artistic design of its own.
