Walk up to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Take the elevator to the top and follow the spiral ramp down. The white, organic curves of the building look stunning in the fading afternoon light.

Find a spot on the lower levels or near the windows. As the sun sets toward the WSW, the light shifts across the museum’s architecture and the city skyline outside.
