This panorama was shot on the Summer solstice (at 18:48 on June
21st, 2000 (01:48 on June 21st, 2000, UTC)) as part of the Wrinkle
Project. The view is from the 19th floor of a historic hi-rise in
downtown Phoenix, overlooking Central Avenue to the North. The
date also marked the early arrival of the Arizona monsoon season,
when the infamous "dry heat" of the Sonoran Desert gives
way to one altogether more moist (yet equally sweltering.)
