The River that Flows Both Ways

At The High Line. Awesome art installation that plays off the theme of factory windows. Description from the website: "...by artist Spencer Finch, The River That Flows Both Ways. The title comes from the original Native American word for the Hudson River, Muhheakantuck. ..Finch transforms the site's existing casement windows with 700 individually crafted panes of glass representing the water conditions on the Hudson River over a single day. To create the project, Finch photographed the Hudson River 700 times from the deck of a boat and then carefully matched each unique image to a pane of glass."

I want to do a post reconstructing each window, but for now...
