I already Oowoh I was always a much better view of the sunrise made me feel Outpour of hope and renewal .. Appears to be sunset matchless beauty, and perhaps the poet is more quiet and calm and romantic, even
The temples and historical museums are already one of the most important places to visit on the ones in the countries which I have the opportunity to go to

I´m totally impressed by your totally spectacular sunsets ladies, the pics alone have a soothing and mesmerizing effect on me, but they want me wanna visit those wonderful places. You´re both very fortunate to have the chance to see those sunsets in first person.

Found a site where people exchange "their" sunsets, and though I´d share:

Amazing, Bon... spectacular scenery! smile
And thanks for sharing that wonderful spot, Mara! :)
I feel like visiting the places you two share with us!

I think the best place to enjoy the sunset is my school. It's near both mountains and sea... besides, there is a lido on campus!

Here are some pics... enjoy! 
(The drawback is... I took them with my cell phone, so they are not very clear.)

We´ve got an ancient Egyptian temple in our city... it´s similar to the one you´ve got in NYC´s Metropolitan Museum, and it was a gift from the Egyptian government for exactly the same reasons (read all about it here):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Debod

The thing is, the temple is on top a little promotory and you can see the most spectacular sunsets from there. I went to the temple last Friday to hear a concert of ancient Greek and Turkish music under the stars... it was wonderfully evocative of past eras!

Sunset is the most magical moment of the day, sometimes it´s a maginificient show... Some turn of the century Spanish artists living in a coastal little village used to climb atop a cliff daily carrying chairs, they sat down to watch the sunset as if they were the audience in a theater, and clapped if they had liked it, and booed if they have hated it! God-fearing villagers thought they were totally nuts and rather drunk and disrespectful, LOL!

I was wondering if you´ve got any favorite spots in your area where you enjoy sunsets the most... Please share, we´d love to hear about them!
