Public Art: The Waterfalls

During my time off, I had the chance to take a look at NYC's newest public art project: a series of waterfalls in the East River. Below is a pic of one visible under the Brooklyn Bridge from near South Street Seaport. Sadly, it was pretty underwhelming. I thought the Gates that peppered Central Park not so long ago were much more wonderful. Maybe it's because you could walk through the Gates and only just look at this waterfall from across the expanse, but I didn't feel much of a reaction to it.

I just saw a short video on these on the NY times website, and was really impressed! I'm sorry they don't meet the hype, because the idea is incredibly cool!
