New Yorkers are gathering for the biannual spectacle of Manhattanhenge on Tuesday evening.
The city's famous grid system will frame the setting sun, casting a warm glow over the concrete jungle.
The phenomenon typically draws thousands of onlookers, tourists and locals alike, who vie to capture the perfect image.
The first night of Manhattanhenge happened on Monday, with only half the setting sun on view.
The full sun will be glimpsed between the skyscrapers at sunset on Tuesday.
What is Manhattanhenge?
This is when the sunset aligns perfectly with Manhattan's skyscrapers which were built on the city's street grid layout.
