Manhattanhenge 2014


Manhattanhenge came through last night and sunset lovers flocked to the streets (and parks) to take photos. Manhattanhenge occurs twice a year, during which the setting sun aligns with the east–west street grid in the borough of Manhattan. The images above were made in Pier 2 Gantry Park, Long Island City.

Battery Bosque Park Sunset

Battery Bosque Park is one of the best places to enjoy the sunset in Lower Manhattan.
