Manhattanhenge - twice a year the sun will set in the apparent center of many of the east/west streets in NY providing spectators a surreal and beautiful view. This was my first time seeing this with my own eyes. A pretty amazing sight to behold. Three bracket shots without a tripod just before the sun disappeared below the horizon. Several of us jumped out into the middle of 42nd to get a better line of sight. NYPD was gracious in holding traffic so we could capture the moment.

Location: 42nd Street New York, NY
