EDITORS COMMENTS
The breathtaking sight of Manhattanhenge is captured in this stunning photo print. As the sun begins to set, its golden rays reflect off the towering buildings of Manhattan, creating a mesmerizing display of light and shadows. This biannual occurrence, aptly named by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, occurs when the setting sun perfectly aligns with the east-west grid of streets in Manhattan. During this magical moment, every street becomes illuminated simultaneously as if touched by nature's own spotlight. The symmetrical beauty that unfolds before our eyes is truly awe-inspiring. It's a rare phenomenon that showcases the harmonious blend between man-made structures and natural wonders. In this particular image taken on May 31,2009, we witness the enchanting glow cast upon New York City during Manhattanhenge. The cityscape transforms into a picturesque scene where concrete canyons are bathed in warm hues while skyscrapers reach towards the heavens. Photographer Gary Hershorn has masterfully captured this fleeting spectacle for us to admire and cherish forever. Through his lens, we are transported to a moment frozen in time – an extraordinary fusion of urban architecture and celestial alignment. This print serves as a reminder of both humanity's ingenuity in shaping grand cities like New York and nature's ability to create moments of pure magic within them.
