Town & Country Travels HomeCircle Line Sightseeing Cruises took us out last night on the first day of Olafur Eliasson's New York City Waterfalls exhibit. We grabbed a camera and shot a quick tour of all four waterfalls. Check it out here:
For more on the much buzzed-about exhibit (rivaled only in New York City by Christo's Gates in Central Park in 2005), The Wall Street Journal has an intelligent look at the project called "Niagara's Rivals -- For a Time, Anyway".

The New York City Waterfalls, a new public art installation by Olafur Eliasson, will be a "spectacle to rival The Gates," the Central Park installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude that capitivated New Yorkers in 2005, predicts New York Magazine. Eliasson, a Danish-Icelandic artist, has erected four 90- to 120-foot man-made waterfalls along the shores of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Governors Island that will add an impressive new vertical element to New York's waterways from late June through Oct. 14 this year. We're planning to go see it ourselves, and will be posting about the trip here in a few weeks.
The city's hotels and tour operators are rolling out packages in conjunction with the event.
