Fabulous sunsets

2009 May 13

It’s my favourite time of the day: when the sun sets and the ensuing twilight. A dazzling display of colour, then a serene interlude before the darkness sets in. Wherever I am, I always make it a point to stop for a moment if the weather is good and enjoy the sunset. They never cease to amaze me, and I often find their colours and majesty absolutely inspiring. Countless photos have been taken of this magnificent natural phenomenon around the world and I’ve taken my fair share. I’ve put together a collage of photos of some of my most memorable sunsets. This is my special tribute to another great wonder of our fair planet: the sunset.

    The Masaai Mara looks beautiful! I was on the fence about whether I should go or not and now I’m thinking I should. Thanks!

    Hi Erica,
    Thanks for your comment. It’s really tough to pick one but of the pictures above, I would have to choose the ones in Jimbaran. It was simply magic!

    Cheers,

    I’d never say no to admiring a sunset. Beautiful pictures! I love the ones from Jimbaran, Bali.

    Am just curious, which sunset is your favorite? Is it even possible to pick only one among so many?
