Definition of a Sunset

‘The time of sunsets is defined in astronomy as the moment when the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon. Near the horizon, atmospheric refraction causes sunlight rays to be distorted to such an extent that geometrically the solar disk is already about one diameter below the horizon when a sunsets beauty is observed’.

Why do we have an affinity to Sunsets

It’s thought there are many benefits of admiring a sunset and how it can benefit you; from increasing your emotional wellbeing, to concern of others to satisfaction of life in general. However, I’m thinking that for most of us sunset appreciation hunters, we resonate them with tropical locations, sipping sundowners on a rooftop bar or beachside locale, a treat for late risers who don’t see the sunrise or those who even class it as the most romantic part of the day, cue all proposals of marriage!

Romantic sunsets provide that moment of silence when the orange sphere slowly skims down the horizon and captivates its audience to pin drop silence.

Below you’ll find some seriously spectacular romantic sunsets from around the world, Some of these are chance sightings and others that come highly recommended by the travel community, which require a little more logistical planning and oodles of patience.

Allow me to share some of my rare moments of spectacular sunsets from around the world, which have left me everything from speechless to inspired to utterly amazed at the falling and breaking of the skys yolk into the vista.

      Lets go and escape this awful weather! Borneo was a stunner and one of my favorites too as the sunset was very different each night! Yes I agree, the autumn UK ones were stunning but never in the right place to snap x

      Thankyou Louise! So glad you enjoyed the post and yes I am a very lucky girl. Sunset shots are always difficult to capture hence why some of the places didn’t make it on the post! Thanks for your support and lovely comments as usual. xx

    Such beautiful photos – you’re so lucky to have visited all of these places! I adore sunsets as I’m really not an early riser, and the colours are just magical. Tough to pick my fave, but Vuba, India, Florence, South Africa and Greece are up there x

      Thanks Seetal and yes I am very lucky indeed. Sunrise is over rated in my opinion! Sunset is much better, plus you can have a drink in hand to say goodbye to the day! I need to get South Africa on that list! xx

    Wow, Bejal! What a collection of sunsets! I do find sunsets utterly captivating – and you’ve captured some incredible ones there. Your Florence and Angkor Wat ones are probably my favourite – and both fascinating places in their own right too.

      Yep, I didn’t realise I had so many and there are still some I’ve found since! Seemed a shame not to use the photos in a post! Florence is one of my favourite cities and I could just stand there and take photo after photo of the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio.
