Manhattan Solstice

So this is a little late, but Sunday, May 28th, was Manhattan solsitce. What is this you may ask? Twice a year the sun sets such that it is perfectly inline with the streets in manhattan (the #ed streets). This should cause both sides of the street to be somewhat golden in color at sunset (when you look away from the sun) and the setting sun to be directly centered if you are in the middle of the street. Sadly, it was somewhat cloudy, but here are some photos anyway.
