Where to stand
Viewpoint: King St W · Toronto, King and Queen West
43.64650, -79.39000
Look towards 254° from north. It works across an area around this point, not only from the exact spot.
Good to know
King, Wellington, Adelaide and Richmond West between Spadina and Yonge, looking west. Mind the traffic: shoot from the sidewalk.
The peak date depends on how high you want the sun in the street: the disc on the horizon falls a few days before or after the “ball” 2° up. For about a week the effect looks much the same.
At sunrise
Sun · at rise · Toronto, King and Queen, looking east
The axis runs at 74° from north: the rising sun falls into it while its height is between -0.3° and 2.5°. Outside that band the alignment does not close.
