Post a Picture of the Sky!

Leaving the gym this morning, just after 7 am. Temperature about 55 degrees. Calling for a chance of non accumulating snow tonight.

Yesterday and today is Manhattanhenge



Manhattanhenge is when the sun sets directly through the center of Manhattan cross streets, lighting both the north and south sides.

Manhattanhenge is just four times a year, when the sun is directly in line with the Manhattan street grid. It happens twice in the end of May and twice in mid-July.

Manhattanhenge is a play on words for Stonehenge. And it’s fascinating to see, with or without a camera and tripod.

The Hayden Planetarium’s Neil deGrasse Tyson, who coined the word, calls it a unique urban phenomenon in the world, if not the universe.

Manhattanhenge starts at just after 8PM, when the sun appears on the western edge of east-west numbered NYC streets, washing the space between the two sides of the street in a golden orange light until the actual sunset.

I've never seen it myself; perhaps resident Manhattenite cynthetiq has.

 

Anchorage sunrise.

 

If Ansel Adams took color photos?

 

I could gaze at that one for hours.

Here's the sky on a June morning:

 

I found this searching for newer ruins. I love how the ominous sky and decaying building come together.

 

eBaum ???

Using colored lense(s)?
