Maybe "similar effect" would have been more precise. I didn’t say the alignment happens every day, I said that the same effect is achieved every day.

Of course, that's parallel to St Laurent too. A handful of the main streets that are not cut off east-west get this effect, and it paints all of the buildings a golden hue at sunset.

When the sun sets 'henge-style, the cross lights up brilliantly. It's rather spectacular.
