Waterfall on a Hazy Day
One of Olafur Eliasson's three New York City waterfalls, this one visible from the Promenade. On display through October 13, 2008. I haven't gotten super close to any of Eliasson's three waterfalls, but any thoughts on this public art project? I want to be able to get closer. I suppose I could always hop on a Circle Line boat. Is it worth it?

From the right distance and angle, they're great. In my everyday commute to the city, from the Manhattan bridge, they just appear to be nothing more than scaffolding with water poring out of it, not too impressive.
I would imagine they'd be fun to see from a boat...A boat could always just be fun anyway.
That's my take.
There's a free water taxi that runs from Ikea to the Seaport that takes you past the waterfalls.
