Find when the sun aligns with your street
Find when sunrise, sunset, moonrise, or moonset lines up with your street: a street henge, in the spirit of Manhattanhenge, that can happen on any street, not just famous ones. Save the moment to your calendar, wait for the right day, then go and see what the sky makes of the street, and perhaps take a photo.
