I agree with Hubris Boy, I am not much for pictures of sunsets unless they are ultra-vivid. I like watching sunsets and sunrises but you really have to be there. My favorite though is this weird thing that happens along the "front range" in Colorado. Right at dusk when the sun has already set behind the rockies, if the atmospheric conditions are right, for about 15 minutes the sun paints the high clouds with shades of pink and orange and red. So then everything is the color reflected off of the clouds. Its kind of like when its a cloudy day and there are no hard shadows; but instead of being dull gray the light is a erie purple.
