Remember the sun? You know, that warm thing that stopped by on Friday to melt all our snow before withdrawing again behind the pale death mask that greeted us this morning? If only we'd enjoyed it while we had the chance. C Merry at LES NYC Window decided last February that if she was awake she would take a photo of the sunrise, and chronicled the early mornings on Flickr.

In a sign that winter is fast approaching, the sunrise version of Manhattanhenge happened on Saturday meaning no sun on north facing buildings until January 10th when the next morning Manhattanhenge occurs.
