Manhattanhenge - a photo on Flickriver

Manhattanhenge

            The sun sets straight down the middle of West 72nd Street in Manhattan on the evening of 11 July, 2014. This was taken at the entrance to Central Park at the interchange of W72nd Street and Central Park West, by the Dakota Building. Four times a year (two dates in late May and two dates around the 11-12 July) this phenomenon can be seen at sunset if the weather co-operates. In winter, the same effect can be seen at sunrise on dates in December and again in January. The effect is caused by the fact the city's grid system does not run a true east-west, or north-south, but is offset by about 29 degrees.
