Summer Begins: The View from Fifth Avenue

The first weekend of summer is upon us. Yesterday, the weather fully cooperated for the season's arrival, sending rays of sunshine into New York's famously dim urban canyons. This view is from Fifth Avenue, slightly north of 19th Street, looking south along the avenue at approximately 6:08 p.m.
