Growing up in Brooklyn, NY for most of my life, I've experienced plenty of art in such a diverse city but nothing quite like what I saw recently this year. Just minutes from my neighborhood stands an immaculate structure, a freestanding waterfall on the Brooklyn Bridge. A sight that you can only truly appreciate if you see it for yourself in person but depicted quite well in this image. The idea came from Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson who has been know for his captivating environmental structures. I was in awe just like all the tourists who came from all over, to see this structure and its captivating presence. The use of lighting and non-hazardous dyes illuminates the structure at night for an even more impressive viewing. Truly awesome design.
