New York Awash in Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls

Apart from chocolate rivers (particularly those with an appetite for chubby, evocatively named German youths), waterfalls are surely the most mesmerizing of nature’s wonders, even if they are not so much natural as the spirited creations of a Danish/Icelandic artist and stop running at the stroke of 10 p.m. every night. Today saw the launch of Olafur Eliasson‘s monumental, multi-site public art project, “The New York City Waterfalls,” four cascades rising as high as 120 feet out of New York Harbor.
