Professional and amateur photographers alike gathered Monday to capture a solar event dubbed California Henge in San Francisco, California.
A mesmerizing video of the twice-a-year occurence shows the spectacle in timelapse speed.

Along California Street at sunrise, the San Francisco skyline and Bay Bridge glowed for social media moments.
