    Doesn’t really look aligned. Or is that just the angle?

    The sun sets diagonally as it moves from the southern sky to the west. The first photo taken fifty minutes before the sunset and the sun is not yet aligned with Toronto’s street grid. The second photo taken just twenty minutes before the sunset is much more closely aligned, while the actual sunset, at 6:20pm was obstructed by the city and clouds along the horizon.

    You should have seen the sun-Mississauga skyline-CN Tower alignment on Friday night’s sunset.
    Oh wait. You will. In Kodachrome.
