Every once in awhile the sun lines up perfectly with the grid system of Manhattan. It creates a stunning visual that has been dubbed Manhattanhenge.
Well, it’s that time of year again.
Yesterday, the sun set in perfect alignment with Manhattan and gave New Yorkers beautiful sunset right between the skyscrapers. Needless to say, social media sites quickly filled up with some fantastic images of Manhattanhenge.
Here are some of the best photos of Manhattanhenge from Twitter.
