Manhattanhenge July 2009 Photo Story

posted in: New York, Photography (Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ) - 3 Comments

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

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

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”

Happy July 4th, 2009 – NYC Fireworks !

posted in: New York, Photography (Tags: , , , , , , , ) - No Comments

Happy Independence Day!

The fireworks in New York city this year were in the Hudson River and, honestly, I wasn’t expecting to see any, but we were able to go to a friend’s roof in Manhattan (43rd street & 9th ave) and we had the chance to see some nice booms and bangs between the buildings!

Comments would be very much appreciated!
