Say what? No seriously that can't be true,can it?

Get outta town! That is cool!

Maureen said...

So you got to use it? Cool! I read about this a few days back. Have you gone to it's official site? It is very neat with so-called artifacts and "history" behind the project. What a great idea... love it that some people actually think it runs under the sea all the way to NY.

They should make it a permanent exhibit, not just for the short few weeks it is operating.

That is VERY neat! What a cute 19th-century look it has. Do you get sound also, or just light? It must be a nice hi-resolution video feed. This is the cutest piece of public art I've seen in awhile. Most such art is such a waste of money. I like this one though.

I saw it on New York TV the other morning. It looks like so much fun.

I heard about that. Its pretty cool. Granted, it'd be COOLER if it really worked the way it's implied, and not just via a fiber optic link, but still -- very cool.

LadyBanana said...

No sound, and yes, it would be great if it was permanently there - there would always be people wanting to look at it!

Sounds very interesting. Makes me wish I still lived in London ;O)

Drowsey Monkey said...

I read about this ... wasn't even sure it was real! Is it? Very cool :)

Diane said...

I want to see this so much. I hope they keep it there until I get up to see it (if not permanently) :-)

Diane: It's only to the 15th June...

So you'd better get up here quickly!

Tina said...

That looks so cool. Bet the queues were huge! and expensive for a peak too!

It states, "a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean." Hey, you can visit me! Just come through the tunnel until you get to NY city, and go north about 350 miles. Then you should be in Rochester! LB, come on over! Wouldn't that be cool!

Andrew said...

Looks cool - glad you got to see it!

What the heck is it?
