karl-tepfer > View of the "Waterfall" underneath the Brooklyn Bridge.  Created by artist Olafur Eliasson, there were a total of 5 Waterfalls around various portions of Lower Manhattan during the Summer and Fall of 2008.
This was taken from the third floor of Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport.

karl-tepfer > I went to the base of the Brooklyn Bridge to capture some shots of the "Waterfalls" underneath the Bridge.  When I got there, close to sunset, this group of apparent bridge worshipers were gathered, seeming to wish "goodnight" to the Manhattan Bridge.
I did eventually get some images of the waterfall, which was directly behind me, but couldn't resist this one.

karl-tepfer > Same image as the one immediately on the left...with the colors simply "desaturated."  Although slightly more subtle, I liked the result in this instance.

karl-tepfer > A few minutes after the fireworks celebrating the Brooklyn Bridge 125th Birthday on May 22, 2008.  This unique lighting of the two towers of the bridge took place for only three nights.  The bright light in the lower left was for the T.V. cameras and reporters covering the event. The reflection of one of the reporters can be seen in the East River.
