Manhattanhenge

There's only 2 days a year where the sun sets perfectly aligned with the street grid of Manhattan. This year was on May 30, which was very cloudy and yesterday, July 11, which had a beatiful sunset so everybody went out to take a picture... including me! 

 

The best place for a picture, in my opinion, it's on the 42 street close to Tudor City building.

Re: Manhattanhenge

A friend that lives in NYC sent me his Manhattanhenge photo too.  Not quite as perfect as yours!

 

Beautifully done!  Must have been quite the sight, all the people out trying to capture an image of it.  Like Pokemon!
