My apartments large front windows face the West/North direction here in Lower Manhattan. Twice a year the Sun sets deep on the horizon between a narrow part of two buildings way off in the distance from my highrise building. The sunlight used to reach way back into my kitchen, filling it with pink light at these two specific times of the year. These deep sunsets would go for two or three days.
Another building has been built since last spring, narrowing this space down to a sliver. So, my 'Tetris' skyline has been blocked a little bit more, only allowing the sunset to reach the back wall of the living room just before the kitchen. This will happen again in the Spring.
I would guess about 12% of the blue sky I could see out my window is gone to buildings appearing in it's place, this game of Tetris will go on until.... ?
