Manhattanhenge

It happens twice a year. The sun goes down such that it lines up with the horizon and grids of Manhattan skyscrapers. Surprisingly, a lot of people knew about this.
This day was particularly awesome because 1) the weather was very nice with clear sky and bright sunshine, 2) there was no secret service around harassing people so the first couple can have a date.
So many people were jumping onto the streets looking like emotionally-challenged werewolves, but really they were just risking their lives to get a shot of this photogenic moment (yes, I was one of them).
Next one is on July 11th and 12th (at around 8:25 PM) in case you missed this one. Be safe everyone.
