LOL. That's just another example of how things take on a life of their own in New York.

Waterfall Watch: Weird Tower Rises Beneath Brooklyn Heights
A vertical shot of the waterfall's steel framework and some rubble behind it. Presumably, it'll look nice with water and from the other side.

This is the steel framework for one of Olafur Eliasson's waterfalls, which is now up on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront. It's north of the former location of the Floating Pool and One Brooklyn Bridge Park, next to a subway ventilation shaft. It is huge (120 feet tall) and also strange looking, although it will presumably look at lot better once the water is turned on from 7AM-10PM, seven days a week, with nighttime lighting. Alas, the view from Brooklyn itself will always be of the tower's backside, no matter how glorious the vista from the Circle Line tour boat.
Here's the waterfall map. Two are in Brooklyn. One is at Governor's Island and on is in Manhattan.
