[pdx] Hawthornehenge

2625.In my neighborhood there's a little section of SE Hawthorne Blvd that runs from SE 114th Avenue to SE 117th Avenue. And, very close to my house, the last block of that bit of Hawthorne turns west-northwest - a bit of a diagonal.

Every year, in the middle of May, when you stand in the middle of the street, for one perfect moment, you get the sun setting over the middle of the street like this:

Hawthornehenge

Most of the rest of the year, it's just a outer SE side street.

For one moment on one day, it's HawthorneHenge.
