The most epic sunset of the year happens this week in Toronto

你可以抓住最华丽的sunset of the year this Wednesday.

That’s because it’sTorontohenge, when the sunset aligns perfectly with Toronto's east-west streets. It only happens with sunsets twice a year, and sunrises twice, giving you only four days to see it in full glory.

This rare phenomenon creates a stunning display of colour across the high rise corridors of the city, and bathes the streets in a golden hue.

If you head out Wednesday night, you should be able to grab a great shot, or just appreciate the beauty. The sunset time calls for the best views at around 6:18 p.m.

As of right now, Wednesday night is looking to be stormy and/or covered with clouds. But, it’s worth it to hold out hope for a clear night. Last year’s Torontohenge wasabsolutely stunning.

Never fear, however. The display is visible (slightly off from full glory) for about a week before and a week after the best night.

Head out tonight or tomorrow, when the skies are much more clear, in case Wednesday turns out to be stormy.
