Waterfalls and Mice
The waterfalls are now flowing in New York City. Four were created by artist Olafur Eliasson and began flowing on Thursday.
"Four of them, to be exact. Together they form a mammoth work of shoreline land art called “The New York City Waterfalls.” It is the brainchild of the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson working with the tireless Public Art Fund and a host of public and private organizations and donors. Between 90 and a 120 feet high and up to 80 feet across, they cascade into Whitman’s beloved East River from four dense, plumbed scaffolding structures on or just off the coasts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Governors Island, making some of New York’s most thrilling waterside vistas more so."
(Vincent Laforet for The New York Times)
In other news I photographed a mouse scurrying through my office today. Better than rats I guess.
