There are few things in the world more breathtaking than a golden sunset.
I’m not an early riser – I never have been. Sunrises are pretty, but the idea of waking up super early to see the sunrise is not something that particularly excites me (though I do love seeing the sunrise on my early drives into work).
Sunsets, on the other hand, are a totally different story. Seeing the sunset, whether it be over a gorgeous beach, while hiking in beautiful Hawaii, or simply brightening the horizon on my drive home from work is one of my favorite experiences in the world.
Because of my affinity of sunsets, I have quite the number of sunset snapshots on my camera roll. And I wouldn’t be too surprised if you do, too!
There are more than 270 million photos tagged #sunset on Instagram, which goes to show that sunsets are pretty popular subjects for both professional and amateur photographers alike.
