Y-Henge Year 2
It turns out that Y-Henge - when the sun rises directly in the middle of the metal frame over the entrance to the Oak Square YMCA - may be more a period than a single day as I had previously thought. The frame, after all, is fairly large relative to the perceived diameter of the sun, and it depends some on what your observation point is.
That said, sitting on the right hand bench on the Faneuil Street side, as you face the firehouse - which I presume is where the chief Druid would have been sitting - the sun looked pretty central just a day before the equinox.
I dunno what causes the red ovals. Maybe the Druids.
