Four times a year, as the earth's rotation axis tilts about 17° off of the sun's geometric centre, (as earth approaches and retreats from the biannual equinoxes in March and September), Toronto's east-west streets line up with the sunrise and sunset. Caught during the most recent 'Torontohenge' on April 19th, a brilliant sunrise with colourful clouds bounces off the folded and reflective walls and windows of the Frank Gehry-designed Forma, now rising on King Street on the west side of Downtown.
