For a year, I chased this moment—the exact alignment where the setting sun would crown One World Trade Center in perfect symmetry. It had to be precise. The conditions had to be flawless. The atmosphere, the positioning, the light—all of it needed to cooperate.

Some shots take patience. Some take luck. And then there are the ones that demand both.

In January 2020, it finally happened. The twin suns blazed above the skyline, casting NYC in golden fire. But what made this image even more special was something I couldn’t have planned: the cat’s eye lens flare below—glowing red, gold, and green, like a hidden signature from the sun itself.

A fleeting alignment. A perfect balance of nature and architecture. A year in the making, gone in seconds.
