I can’t imagine a more surreal, amazing sight than hundred foot waterfalls in New York City.  Thanks to the creative genius of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, as of this summer, I won’t have to.

It’s about seeing water in a different way,” Eliasson told a news conference on Wednesday, unveiling plans for the waterfalls, which will range in height from 90 to 120 feet — around the same as the Statue of Liberty from head to toe.

Three of the waterfalls will cascade into the East River and New York Harbor from free-standing scaffolding towers that Eliasson said were part of his artistic vision, mirroring the scaffolding towers that sprout up throughout New York. The falls will be in place from mid-July to mid-October.

Artistic genius.  Good gawd.
