New York goes through many unofficial seasonal markers throughout the year. One such marker of the beginning of the end of summer is the last days of Manhattanhenge. For 6 weeks the sun moves across the streets right at sunset. It is a daily miracle if you're looking for it. Each night the streets get flooded with the most glorious golden light.

This image was taken just a few days before the last Manhattanhenge of the year. The buildings that normally crowd 42nd Street have been altered to create a curtain of light and color - signifying the beginning of the last weeks of summer.
