庸庸碌碌的都市叢林,黃黑交織的計程車開得飛快,是什麼讓人們一起停下了腳步,駐足抬頭,望向同一片天空。紐約一年兩度的 ” Manhattanhenge ” 曼哈頓落日現象,是高樓建築和自然界之間最浪漫的時刻。這也是當初規劃紐約市都市設計時, 留給紐約市民的小驚喜。棋盤狀的街道,以東西向構成街,南北向形成大道,因此在每年,有兩天的時間,太陽會由建築物間的縫隙,劃過天際,恰恰好的落在天際線上。

而今年的 Manhattanhenge 則分別在 5/30 及 7/11 發生,落日時的陽光才是真正的金黃色,層層的雲朵被染成淡橘色,與夕陽相襯,身旁成黑影的高樓大廈已不在重要,百老匯的燈牌成了點綴。餘暉灑落,霎那間空氣凝滯,讓忙碌的紐約客,及來自世界各地,看過無數美景的遊客,都不約而同地為了這令人動容的時刻,駐足仰望。

紐約又多了一個必須造訪的理由。
