Sunsets: 19 days that ended memorably

A week of lively weather here in the UK has resulted in a run of spectacular sunsets.

It made me think about the many sundowners I’ve captured over the years, close to home in Manchester and on my travels.

This collection brings together the sunsets I always remember and can almost feel to this day.

Anyone who doesn’t marvel at a sunset is missing a piece of their humanity. Do you agree?

And here’s the latest memorable sunset from this week. I was looking across to the growing skyline of Salford with the water of the Bridgewater Canal in the foreground. Very stormy skies for the middle of May.

Excellent series of sunset skies, Mike. I’m always drawn to the silhouettes, like Albania and Salford UK (which made me smile) And the Chile landscape is a stunner! :)

  Thank you Jane, glad you enjoyed them. I think it’s pretty hard not to be enthralled by a good sunset. As for the Chile sundown, I’ve never seen its like!

  Ah I don’t think it’s ever been bettered, Kiki. The Martian-like dust I think helps it along :)

  Thank you Andy. You can see a lot of sunsets in your lifetime but some remain in the mind. Atacama is at the top of that list. Definitely worth a trip when it’s a little easier again.

Some gorgeous shots there, Mike (although I’m not sure Sunset Scrolling is entirely necessary… ;) ). Particularly like the arched window one. There is something about the sunset colour that sunrises don’t often match… A lovely collection; thank you for sharing. :)

  Thank you Richard, glad you like. I think sunrises have more exclusivity over sunsets, which are more conveniently scheduled! I actually knew the scrolling guy, he wasn’t a random spot 👀🤣

  Thank you Aditi, I’m glad you like them. I would worry about a person if they didn’t enjoy a sunset :)
