I suppose the most arresting thing about Manhattanhenge isn’t the near-perfect alignment of the setting Sun with the east-west grid of the borough’s streets.
It’s seeing the way people - New Yorkers and visitors alike — unilaterally decide to spill out onto those streets, en masse, without apparent regard for their own safety, to see for themselves and document this most extraordinary of skybound events.
42nd Street and 7th Avenue / Broadway, Manhattan, 29 May 2013.
