As
we cruise along New York's famous skyline we will also see the NYC
Waterfalls created by artist Olafur Eliasson. The New York City
Waterfalls showcases New York City's natural environment alongside the
City's industrial and commercial landscape. Each of these 90 to
120 foot tall installations have been designed to protect the water
quality and aquatic life of the Hudson River and New York Harbor and
was Commissioned by the Public Art Fund.
If
you really need another reason to come on this cruise, this is it. This
will more than likely be a one time event, similar to the "Gates
in
Central Park".
Anyone that wishes to see the news footage go
to www.wnbc.com click on "as seen on 4NY" and then
type in NY City waterfalls.
