The sun rose precisely through the concrete and steel canyon of San Francisco's California Street early Saturday morning. Hundreds gathered for the rare chance to see 'California Henge,' when the rising sun aligns perfectly with the city grid.
The rare chance to see the sun rise over the, perfectly framed by the cityscape of California Street, happens only twice a year, and hundreds gathered to see it.
"I've never seen so many people for something like this," said Marc Donahue of Permagrin Films. "We're all in the middle of the street. It's crazy." It was still dark as people started to cluster. Many drove from different parts of the Bay Area, others dropped by while walking their dog, and a lucky few who live in the Nob Hill neighborhood rolled out the door in their robes with a cup of coffee in hand. The intersection was totally blocked by the crowd at Gough and California Streets in San Francisco April 8, 2023.
"The clouds actually help make it more dramatic," said Donahue. "It helps diffuse the light of the sun."
