Chicagoland Chicagohenge!

My colleague Will Atwood Mitchell tipped me off to a phenomenon called "Manhattanhenge," "a biannual occurrence in which the setting sun aligns with the east-west streets of Manhattan's main street grid." Naturally, it works here in Chicago as well: 9/25 at 6:41 AM and 6:42 PM. The screencap is taken from the outstanding program The Photographer's Ephemeris.

I fear I may be overwhelmed by The Photographer's Ephemeris but can't resist trying it out anyway.

I've been waiting for this since July when I saw pics of Manhattanhenge. Luckily the clouds parted just in time to see the sun set:
