Did You See the ‘Chicagohendge” Sunrise? It Was SPECTACULAR

Twice a year, on the equinoxes, the sunrise lines up perfectly with the east-west grid of Chicago streets. That means the sun rises directly between the buildings. It’s a beautiful scene known as Chicagohenge.

Here are some fantastic photos and videos. Please share any that you took, whether in Chicago or elsewhere!
