Manhattanhenge, Returns Tonight

York Ave. & 79 St.

Manhattanhenge is an evening event when the sun lines up with the main artery streets in Manhattan.

I took this top shot in 2012 on York Avenue and 79th Street.

Here is  a New York Times piece on Manhattanhenge from today's newspaper.

The photos below I shot last year on West 72nd Street looking west from The Dakota, and the other on York Avenue & 86th Street towards Fifth Avenue on a not so clear night when the sun was playing hard to get behind clouds.

Summer is steaming, cool off, come down to the telling. $8 admission with a free drink. A neat exchange on a hot night.

Yorkville Sunset Near the Equinox

Near sunset last night, I strolled up 79th Street then walked north on Fifth Avenue. The near equinox light was other worldly. I found a puddle in front of the Met Museum doing pointillist tricks with the reflection of the buildings on the east side of the avenue.

The quiet streets had few people and cars.

Yorkville walk time.
