Manhattanhenge - The Setting Sun in New York

July 12, 2009 and July 11, 2010, 34th Street, New York, New York

Twice a year the tall buildings on a few streets in New York create corridors that give the setting sun a spectacular venue.

@TRSF1 Leave early on that day. Have you watched my "Pater Noster" videos? They show Newton Rings caused by lens refraction when photographing the sun. Interesting effect.

This is why I live in NYC because its so awesome looking at the sunny sky or even at night because of the lights

@brokenskull192 I absolutely love NYC. I'm trying to arrange to go down to the completely preserved early 20th century subway stop so I can take pictures of it and do a youtube video about it. But, NYC has everything I like: Museums, restaurants, theatre, great people, views. You're lucky you live there.

I fear for the safety of the people preoccupied with photographing it and it must get a bit annoying for the traffic who wants to get somewhere in a hurry. Is there anywhere high up where people can photograph?

New York has $350 fine for honking your car horn, but you would never know it, since it's almost never enforced. Meanwhile we have to be deafened by the constant barrage of noise.
