millienia from now, when future humans (or aliens) are trying to divine the meaning behind Manhattan’s ruins, does this mean that they’ll conclude it was all an elaborate sundial / calendar?

I didn’t realize that you could get that good a shot on 72nd Street! I was going to go all the way to 57th and Broadway, which is a bit out of the way for me, but perhaps I don’t need to?

Beautiful photo, NYCStory!
