Four times a year, when the Earth’s axis of rotation deviates approximately 17° from the geometric center of the Sun (as the Earth approaches and recedes from the semi-annual equinoxes in March and September), Toronto’s east-west streets line up at sunrise and sunset. During the most recent “Torontohenge” on April 19, a brilliant sunrise with colorful clouds was captured, reflecting off the folded and reflective walls and windows of the Frank Gehry-designed Forma, which now rises on King Street on the west side of downtown.
