If there's one thing I'm a sucker for, it's sunsets. I LOVE them. I love the pretty pastel colors they turn the sky, I love watching the sun dip just below the horizon. I love that sunsets remind me that there's always an end to a bad day, and in just a few hours the sun will rise again, giving me a new start.
I consider myself pretty lucky to live in Hawaii. The sunsets every night are beautiful. It doesn't matter if I take a picture of the sunset one night - I will take a picture of the sunset the next night because I love them that much. I wanna document them all; I'm a sunset picture hoarder. Just to prove it to you... both of these pictures were taken in pretty much the same spot in my backyard in Kaneohe. Obsessed much?
I've seen a decent share of sunsets from different places around the world, but there are still so many places I want to go, and sunsets I want to see. I found an article on msn.com that has gorgeous pictures of sunsets from different places. My goal is to travel to each spot at least once in my life. I mean look at this photo of the sunset in Switzerland... It doesn't even look real.
I feel like everyone loves sunsets - I don't know a single person who hasn't been hypnotized by the sun setting at least once. Everyone has their own reasons for liking them and what it means to them. I wanted to compile a list of my favorite quotes about them, and pictures of them too. Now you and I will both have a place to look back on when we need to be reminded of the sunset's beauty.
