CATHEDRALHENGE’S GLORIOUS COLORS

May 19, 2017 | 3:29 PM
in NEWS, OUTDOORS

Scott Matthews shared with us his photos of Cathedralhenge, the phenomenon where the rising sun lines up perfectly with the statue of the Archangel Gabriel at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine when viewed from Scott’s apartment. Thursday would have been the best and most perfect day, Scott said, but it was overcast; he got shots on Wednesday and Friday that worked pretty well too.

Unlike Manhattanhenge, you only see this phenomenon on this day from Scott’s apartment. They are in reverse chronological order starting from Friday.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

Wow! I remember the one from last year; I even recall forwarding it to someone who lives over on the LOWER EAST side!
