Manhattanhenge or Manhattan Solstice

It’s a beautiful phenomenon that happens twice a year when the sun perfectly lines up with Manhattan’s grid.

I want to share some pictures that I took today (July 12th, 2009) from the Pulaski Bridge of Manhattanhenge on and around 38th street:

The waiting starts on the Pulaski Bridge

While buildings and objects are illuminated by the beautiful sunlight

At 8:00pm the sun starts kissing the buildings…

…and playing hide-and-seek

While the sun is hiding, let’s admire the beautiful skyline

The sun’s reflection appears from the other side of the building and looks like a “double sun”

Hiding again between buildings

I can still see you!

Another peek and he’s on his way to pass through 38th street

Let’s just wait to see him coming…

Peek-a-boo!

Half sun..

8:22pm Enjoy your Manhattanhenge

Good Night
