Twice a year, the Chicagohenge phenomenon occurs on the spring and autumn equinoxes and produces a vivid sunset/sunrise scene when the rising/setting sun lines up perfectly with Chicago’s east-to-west running streets. On March 20, I had the chance to see this for myself and witness the combined power of nature and architecture on this clear day, which made for an optimal viewing experience.
With the sun setting exactly at 7:03 p.m. CDT, photographers and onlookers alike only had moments to capture these radiant rays. In the spirit of time, I included photos of clocks found around the city, including the Peacock clock on the Palmer House, the Father Time clock on 35 East Wacker Drive (Jewelers’ Building), the Wrigley Building’s clock tower, the traditional clock beside the Nederlander Theatre and, of course, the Marshall Field clocks.
