Manhattanhenge May 2012

TWICE a year, the sun sets in alignment with Manhattan's "east-west" streets ( which are not "true" east west but more ENE-WSW)...the effect is something of a light show.

Went out at the appointed time but no light show...too many storm clouds on the horizon...women passing by said to me, " Is it happening?" And I had to say, "Afraid not!"

Here is like to Guardian article on what Manhattanhenge is supposed to look like etc.
